WOah!
the fabled North East Style Caboose!!
so long merely a rumor..now its real!
yay!
thank you USA Trains!
The "North East Style" of steel caboose..
developed by the Reading in the 20's and also built by the Lehigh Valley and Western Maryland. (the three primary builders of this caboose style)
(and also smaller counts built by L&NE, L&HR, P&WV and CNJ..)
Later migrated to many other railroads as older cabooses were sold off.
For more info on this style of caboose, check out:
