Well, after posting and asking I discovered that one of the pictures I
downloaded as a guide had the answer I was looking for.
On this page
http://CRCaboose.Railfan.net/classes/N-20.htm
there is a picture of a caboose right behind a box car
http://CRCaboose.Railfan.net/photos/DH35792.jpg
The main roof line of the caboose is below the roof of the box car, and
the cupola barely sticks up above the box car.
By the way, did anyone check out the link I wrote about a couple of days
ago? It was a picture of an SD40-2 driving down the middle of the street.

| (...) Right. Which supports what people were saying, boxcars have gotten taller since cabooses were designed. That caboose, even though it has modern features like an extended vision cupola, is much older in general design than the hi- cube boxcar (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
