NYC caboose interiors (19XXX & 21XXX)
Posted by train18393 on Monday, May 9, 2011 6:57 AM

Greetings,

I am modeling two New York Central cabooses circa 1960s, with interiors. I have been looking for interior information and figured I would try here before contacting the NYC Historical Socitey. Specifically did either of these series have a biffy and small sink? If so where where they(it) located in relation to the stove. It has been so long since I been on one I can't remember, and now all of my relatives who worked on the NYC have passed away.

Thanks in advance for any information you may be able to provide.

Great book about cabooses from the 60's by Knapke...otherwise best bet is to check index for TRAINS, MODEL RAIRLROADER, etc.  I know there were picks and stories published over the years...also check histories of NYC railroad(s).
