It is a standard UP class "CA-1" wood caboose and is typical of cabooses that the UP would have used on the Boulder Branch. CA-1's could be found at the end of UP freight trains into the 1960's. Following its retirement, #3171 was used to promote the Montbello Business Park along I-70 east of Denver from 1967 to the early 1980's. #3171 was donated to the BCRHS in 2001 and is painted "Armour Yellow", the standard color for UP cabooses after World War II."
