More Importantly can u help me identify the Railrod and class of this caboose
A google search under wood caboose turned up nothing
For those who want to know its off ridge road in winchester behind a housig develpment

Hi looks like a Pennsey caboose,possible a wabash one. ( by the squished cupola ) I'm sorry but I don't know what the classification number would be. Suggest that you look up a Pennsey or wabash historical society site. Perhaps repost photo there if they have a forum.
