Pennsylvania Railroad 34' wood sheathed caboose with straight cupola #492894

This N6B-class caboose was retired from revenue service in the 1960s and painted the Camp Car Yellow of MOW service. Here it served on railroad work trains for a few more years before being scrapped. Pennsylvania was a large Class 1 railroad formed in 1846 and grew to be a predominant shipper on the east coast until 1968 when it merged with rival New York Central to form Penn Central.
