Re: (LVRR) Caboose in Tunckhannock.

Rick,
    Before PennDot put in the Bypass, this caboose sat on a siding off the
main just North (TT West) of route 309.  It had been there for years (mid
'80's) and I think the track it is on now is only a display piece that never
connected to the main.
    My wife and I took the kids to the county fair in Meshoppen while we
were home on vacation and I was curious as to where this caboose had gotten
to.  I think you may have answered my question.
