N-21 caboose, one of 113 purchased new by CONRAIL. The bay window was built by Fruit Growers Express of Alexandria, Va.. Thanks to CONRAIL CYCLOPEDIA for the information.
Off the beaten path, this caboose rests near the TP&W line in downtown Chatsworth. One of the worst rail accidents in the US occurred just east of here in 1887.
The local re-appears from the East shoving caboose first through the interlocking. This vintage caboose made for a nice surprise on my little weekend trip.
