Looks good!
Love it! Thanks for posting..
Wow, those are straight out of the 1980's. There was a Conrail bay window caboose still in use at Chapman Yard, Kuhnsville even after NS took over and there was one by the wye in Allentown yard several years ago parked on a spur track. NS I believe built the wye to replace the turntable which was removed.
Don’t get me wrong, these look great and I’m happy that they’re being refurbished, but who’s paying for that? Are they headed to a museum? I can’t imagine they’ll be used in service, but I’m no expert in that area.

Conrail shared assets paid for it.
The extended vision used every day, the bay window will be used more infrequently, but available at any time.
Thanks. Down here I haven't seen a caboose in use in, perhaps, 20 years or so. There are always trains moving around, and I do pay attention to what's being pulled.

Chris, can you share/describe how they are used in modern times?
