  • Welcome to the forums!

    Here's a site that lists all remaining NS cabooses:

  • Thank you Mike
  • all things considered, NS doesn't look like it gives much care to the cabooses.
  • Well, they're not in too bad condition for being only 35 years old.
  • Pennsy94, there is a (i guess) Ns caboose here in NJ that is not on krunk.org. It is a red caboose owned by NS and used on the local HO-2. But the weird thing is that it says Conrail over the number. If you want the number it is 21303.

    All ex-CR freight cars and cabooses owned by CSX have NYC reporting marks, all ex-CR freight cars and cabooses owned by NS have CR reporting marks.
  • I'm pretty sure NS has more cars than this, there are several in use in Ohio that are not listed as far as I can see.

    great website though !!
  • Thanks everyone for the replies. Been away for awhile cause of computer problems but i am back now. Thanks again.
  • NS 555618 is in regular use in the Washington, DC, area for reverse running. I have a pic if anyone is interested.
  • cordon, i would like to see a picture of it[:D]
  • My first post to the forum too, and I am also looking for NS caboose information.  I am restoring a NS caboose--a very old wooden, copula probably from the 1915 era.  It is number 332 from the 300 series of wooden cabooses.  I found the caboose in NC, where it had been sitting for over 20 years after restoration was started by a man who owned a facility that repaired rail cars and bought surplus materials.  I have a pretty good collection of stampings, parts and pictures that establish this caboose as NS 332, and would appreciate any information that would help me establish the dates it was in service and the lines it might have run on.  I see that yours is an old post, but I hope you have the web site up...would love to see it.
