Cabooses

First of all, the SCIH is the new name for the Chicago Short Line (South Chicago & Indiana Harbor).    Secondly, did you happen to see the very first caboose photo that this guy has on his flickr account?  It shows someone painting a caboose at Hoosier Valley?  The caboose is obviously the IC display caboose, but who is the painter?  Do you recognize him?   Finally, there is a yellow bodied cupola caboose with blue trucks (!) in one of the photos.  Taken at a garden center in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.  I am 99% certain that this is an old Erie caboose.  At least it was well cared for in the photo, even though the colors are a bit unusual.
