I was looking through a book titled "Caboose" yesterday and saw a picture of a Monon caboose.  The text with the picture said that the Monon was probably the first and only railroad to build cabooses with a bay window cupalo, but that the idea was incorporated into the wide vision cupalos that were built later.

I may have heard this wrong, but other railroads attempted to get the Monon to build, or get the plans, for the extended vision bay window cabooses, but the Monon refused.
