CR Caboose #21264 - Wabash Valley RR Museum |
| Description: |
Jumping many decades from the previous PRR wooden caboose is this Conrail caboose on display at the Wabash Valley RR Museum. According to the information sign posted by the caboose, it was built in Alexandria, VA shops of the Gruit Growers Express Company for Conrail in 1978. The Conrail order was one of the last oders placed for cabooses. It serviced the area mostly between Danville and Peoria, IL. When Conrail was broken up, the caboose went to CSX and used in local switcher duties out of Peoria. |

Conductor's bay window seat - actually looks comfortable with its high back. Still like a cupola seat better but wasn't on this caboose! |
