(erielack) Lackawanna caboose in Eighty-Four, Pa.

[MDelvec952_@_aol.com]

The March 2007 RMC showed today, and on page 79 in a photo story about  
recycled railcars there is a photo of a Lackawanna wooden caboose used as a  sales 
office for the Pittsburgh Coal Company in Eighty-Four, Pa., the corporate  
home of 84 Lumber.  The photo was taken by Dick Flock in November  1995.  The cab 
is not on trucks and it appears to have been there for  years.
 
Is there anyone on this list near enough to Eighty Four, Pa., to take a  look 
at it, to see if it's still there and possible look around the area between  
the windows or above the end doors to see if there's evidence of a  number?  
These were numbered 600-849 in service.  And if anyone can  bring a 25-foot 
tape and measure the side, corner to corner, it'll at least tell  us from which 
batch it was built -- those with the passenger trucks or the  T-section caboose 
trucks.
 
I've been through Eighty-Four, Pa., a few times, and didn't know this hack  
was there.
 
Thanks in  advance                     ....Mike Del Vecchio
