Is this a test? Are we supposed to guess the state that Winchester is in? A little more information would help in identifying it. If this a test it looks a lot like a Virginian caboose to me.

I'm no epxert on anything other than PRR and then I am wrong a lot but I would start with Boston and Maine as a high probablity and go to New Haven for a second choice since they were the predominant railroads in that area. That would have to be confirmed through pictures in books or their respective historical societies for confirmation.

If you can buy a caboose, you can move it anywhere permitted.
I have a light green auto, what road did the previous owner drive it on?
Location only causes wild guesses.
