WOW! Something that is STILL original Conrail, and original as a Caboose, no less, hanging around this many years after the unfathomable and unfortunate split. Amazing, and I hope this gem finds a good home on a tourist railway or in a nice Museum that will appreciate it once it has finally logged its last mile in service.

Great catch and information, thank you Robert. It's a shame that almost all cabooses are just sealed up dirty and cold shoving platforms. I'm glad you told us how the crew appreciates this actual functioning caboose. Many more crews would be so happy to have a functioning caboose like this one. They might even feel like they are appreciated and actually work for a railroad, instead of short-term profit-obsessed stockholders.
