Description
Before restoration at the Whippany Railroad museum in Whippany New Jersey, this steel “bay-window” caboose was one of seven such cars built by the International Car Company of Kenton, Ohio in February 1968 for the Delaware & Hudson Railway (D&H), “The Bridge Line To New England And Canada.” Originally delivered in a bright yellow and blue color scheme, the paint on this series of cars weathered poorly and all were later repainted red in the early 1970s. Such a great piece of history saved for future generations. Today it is painted bright yellow. A caboose is the boxy car that was historically attached to the end of a freight train. It provide shelter for crew that did the required switching and shunting and keeping a lookout for load shifting, damage to equipment and cargo. Must have been a fun job!
