Montour RR Caboose #36 - Volant, Pennsylvania - Train Cabooses on Waymarking.com

This caboose is connected to 3 box cars, into which doors and windows have been added as a row of retail stores. A wooden deck along one side of the 4 cars allows for access. The whole thing looks abandoned: two box cars say "For Rent" and cahins block all access points to the deck. The caboose has no markings except for "36" on the deck side.

This is Montour Railroad #36 and is one of 7 all steel units that once belonged to the Union Pacific Railroad until purchased for use on the MTR in November of 1969.
