Mount Airy Maryland, these photos are from a few years ago, there is now a roof over the caboose to the protect it from the weather. The caboose has been fully resorted and you can go inside on the weekend. Its part of the towns museum.  Its also right across the street from the Train Depot a very nice old school model  train store.

This caboose is on display in Lititz, Pa. It is ex-CNJ #91530. The story goes, the Reading Co. Technical & Historical Society painted this caboose in the Reading scheme to jokingly get back at the CNJ for stealing their caboose deign back in the day. the did include the original CNJ caboose number in the upper right corner of the car and also included the iconic CNJ orange disks on the front and back of the cupola.

Years ago when Santa Fe was selling off their cabooses I got the "OK" from the wife (CFO) to purchase one,

BUT 2 of my kids needed braces on their teeth, one needed the cost of a caboose in braces and the other a caboose and a half.

SO the kids got braces.  And over the years I lost the urge for a caboose.

Some photos from 20 years ago:

This photo was taken back in 2000-2001.  It's a PRR N5 cabin car painted in Conrail blue.  By the way, the Fort Steuben Bridge in the background is also gone now.

Another view of the same cabin car.

This is another N5 although someone mis-labeled it as an N5c (porthole) caboose.  This was located somewhere on 3rd-4th Street in Steubenville, OH.  It's also gone.

PRR_N5C_22841a

Here's a real N5C.  It resides in Central PA along State 15 north of Harrisburg, PA.

This N5 is coupled to the N5C in the same location.  I took these photos about 18-20 years ago.

ESPEE  8722's Canon City, Colo. caboose is one from the Great Western, an ex-FEC side door, whose siblings boomered all over the country on assorted shortlines.  That one's still looks lettered for the GW, which means it had a history of trailing sugar beets and decapod #90, now on the Strasburg, around NE Colo.  Brother Love did a run of these FEC side doors.  The Strasburg needs that for #90.  GW had two, so l need two.

This is an old Rock Island caboose that was in the old SP yard in East Austin. It belonged to the Austin Model Railroad Club and my parents were married on it. Dad took this pic of my older sister as a kid on it before it was sold to Coupland, Texas for their museum. Coupland is a little town in between Taylor and Elgin,  northeast of Austin on the Katy.
