A 3/4 view of caboose #15 is the subject of last week’s “WW #149”. Note the small sign on the back wall of the caboose that admonishes crews to “Switch and Couple Carefully”. Also of interest is a glimpse of a PRR H21a hopper with the original “clamshell” bottom hopper doors. Location is Towanda, given the background structures.

Continuing on with the caboose theme, last week’s “WW #147” shows us caboose #14. At first glance, #14 seems similar to #17, but on closer inspection #17 has slightly larger double-hung windows, among other small differences. Either would be an interesting modeling project.

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.
