One of these plywood cabooses lay in Hudson Yard in Phillipsburg PA in the late 80's along with an industrial switcher that used to work the Ingersoll-Rand plant nearby.
Two former C&O cabooses found 04/10/1988 in WV. The 903622 was at Meadow Creek and the 900251 at Quinnimont. I tried to read the build dates from these images and the years are likely either 1943 or 1949.
From 10/20/1996 at Raton, NM, BN/C&S 10661. I can't read the build date on the scan. .... and BN 10322 at Greenwood, IL in 1976.
I guess I never posted this one for you in this tread. So........here are some oldies from the files.
Way back in September of 1975, at Exporail (then just the Canadian Railway Museum) a wood Napierville Junction caboose: My Dad's photo.
Unfortunately the MOW truck was parked right in front of the new Rock Island Rail painted cab. Sumner MS - July 2022
