Lucky to find this one! This caboose is not in a park or even on a main road much less busy road. It is out in the country tucked away were you would never expect to find a caboose. There is some other rail memorabilia surrounding it. It is at the entrance to someones home that is on up the drive but out of site. The caboose is right by the beginning of the drive though and you can easily see it from the road if you are expecting it. Also look for the mailbox as a clue :-)

Thanks to "caboose9 - Roger" I can update this waymark to include a little better history of this caboose. It is PRR 477381, a Class N5B cabin car. It was built in June 1923, became PC 22993, then CR 22993, then ConRail 20067 as it is numbered when waymarked. It was still in service on Conrail in 1983 and was taken out of service, sold, and moved to this location at an unknown date prior to 6/99. Its current condition is a little rough but still solid.

Thanks Roger for the extra info and history of this caboose!
