Last week’s “WW #145” is a 3/4 view of another S&NY 4-wheel caboose, #17. The railroad rostered 4 cabooses at the time of abandonment: #’s 14, 15, 16, and 17. #15 was the only 8-wheel caboose, and went to the Arcade & Attica Railroad in southern New York, where it still exists on static display. Here is a vertigo-inducing look at the restored interior. #17, alas, was either sold for use as a chicken coop or burned to recover the metal parts for the war effort.
I think that weird thing on top of the coal stove is a rack for drying gloves, hats and boots.
