Re: (erielack) Erie Caboose C233

Jim 
Per your inquire, From various caboose material and assignment I have,  I 
can tell you this. Cab 233 was built in 1945 at the Erie's Dunmore Car  
Shops, Dunmore, PA.
In 1964 it was equipped to comply with Pennsylvania Sanitary Codes.
In 1965 is was assigned to RDG ( READING ) 98, and was equipped with an Oil 
 Stove.
In 1970 it was listed as having Safety Glass, Sanitation, and Electric  
Lights, but not Stone Guards.
In March of 1973 it was on the Day Falls Run.
In  July of 1975 it was on the Rochester Local.
It's not on my list of Cabooses that got the GM&Y paint, but that's not  to 
say it didn't.
It became Conrail 19666, and was still on the CR roster as  of 1984.  The 
last thing I show, is it owned by a Ray Flynn at  Kent, OH. An old phone 
number is 216-673-0629.   He may have been  associated with Rail Services, PO 
Box 823, Kent, OH  44240-0823 ?    After my Bay Window Caboose article in the  
Diamond I was forwarded a small photo of it  (around 1993) in a red dip job 
 paint scheme with pale yellow lettering, and end doors.

I'm trying to get some information on caboose C233. I first  saw this 
caboose in July, 2000 in Kent, OH and then again this past summer in  Milan, MI. 
From what I can ascertain, it was built by Dunmore shops in 1945 or  1946, 
carried the same number throughout Erie and EL, and ended up restored in  MI. 

What I do not know is the following. Did this caboose make it into  CR? How 
did it end up in Kent, OH in Erie paint? Where did this caboose  normally 
hang out on the EL system? Are there any pictures showing this cab in  
service?

I'm the President and newsletter editor for the Lehigh Valley  Chapter NRHS 
and I'm wanting to do an article on this caboose.

Thanks  in advance for your help and information on this  caboose.

Regards,
Jim Rowland
