(erielack) RE:Odd...

Wow! EL Digest #333 had quite a bit of tonnage! I was looking for a "Helper
e-mail" shoving on the rear end :) 

  In reference to the photo of NYS&W caboose 0112. I will check my photos
tonight for the correct number, to my amazement ConRail had an NYS&W caboose
assigned to a work train operating on the NY&GL at Great Notch one day! I
have a photo of it coupled to an EL switcher and some gondolas in front of
the station. I asked the crew "How'd that get here?" and all I remember is
that they were all very unhappy about the condition of the windowless beat
up old caboose, and the fact someone sent it over the hump and dislodged the
stove (Was the stove broken free when you finally got it AL???) either way
ConRail grabbed an NYS&W crummy one day, and I think this one in the photo
was the culprit!

Here's an interesting new photo from George's web site:

Why is there a transfer caboose in Croxton in late 1978? I thought these
were retired shortly after CR took over - this seems pretty late to me?

Also note the NYS&W caboose coupled at the right - again, very
interesting...

It sounds to me like this might be NYS&W caboose N. 0112 which I bought from

the Susie-Q that year and had shipped to the Morristown & Erie Railroad
where 
I worked at that time. It was one of four surplus hacks they advertised for 
sale in Railfan Magazine that year. I sold it in 1982 to Ben Friedland, the 
late Presdient and General Manager of the Mrristown & Erie Railway, where it

remains today as their No. 4.
