Is it F for James E Fraser, the designer?

Actually in the spirit of double entendres I like the suggestive version better.

WHAT A SAD DAY FOR RAILROADING WHEN THEY REPLACED THE FAMOUS CABOOSES---ONLY THE CONDUCTOR AND THE BRAKEMAN WERE ALLOWED IN THE CABOOSES---THE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN HAD TO ASK PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD.....THAT IS WHERE THE COFFEE WAS KEPT WARM SO IT PAID TO BE POLITE---VICE VERSA---THE CONDUCTOR AND BRAKEMAN HAD TO ASK PERMISSION TO GET INTO THE ENGINE AREA--TIT FOR TAT.......I HEAR THE WHISTLES BLOWING...THEY ARE CALLING ME HOME...BUT I WON'T BE GOING... CAUSE I WAS MADE TO ROAM...

I am not sure if it was union rules or what, but cabooses ran on some of the Michigan Central trains up until about 10 years ago, and they were using the older cupola style Chessie system cabooses that hadn't even been repainted. They tend to buy older equipment from other railroads and never bother to paint it, so we have some Portland, Oregon diesel electrics running here.

A FEW YEARS AGO THEY WERE SELLING CABOOSES FOR $1.00---BUT YOU HAD TO MOVE THEM OFF THE LINE----ONE MODEL RR CLUB BOUGHT ONE AND HAD IT MOVED TO A MEMBER'S PROPERTY WHICH WAS QUITE LARGE AND THEY CLEANED IT UP AND TURNED IT INTO THEIR CLUBHOUSE AND THEN CHARGED FOR OPEN HOUSES TO HELP PAY FOR THE UPKEEP---NOT BAD IF YOU CAN DO IT..........
