In the early years of Conrail, they leased locomotives and cabooses from just 
about anybody.  I remember seeing a Conrail train pulled by Santa Fe EMD blue 
warbonnets with a Southern Pacific bay window caboose.  (It even had the flying 
saucer on the roof IIRC.)

I have a photo I took in the B&O yard in South Philadelphia of a C&O GP9 
coupled to a Conrail bay window caboose which in turn was coupled to a D&H 
extended vision caboose.
