Re: (LVRR) Caboose in Tunckhannock.

[Neil R Weinberg <laurellines_@_juno.com>]

Yes the caboose is an ex Conrail, ex Lehigh Valley caboose. It was
purchased in the late 80's by the Gay True Value Hardware Store in town.
The idea was to place the caboose at the Wyoming County Court
House/Historical Society. The plans fell through & the caboose was
donated to the borough. Because of the new bypass the caboose was
relocated.    Neil W.
