C1 caboose

[NW Mailing List]

That's a different class, I believe. If I'm not mistaken this one is still near that same location, intersection of Route 460 and 301, although its in much worse condition now. -Ed Burnett

Bob Bowers and Jim Brewer's caboose book lists it as being sold to a private owner in Petersburg in July, 1956. Its a pretty fascinating survivor in my opinion, did anyone else know its there? Its in poor condition, but would be a wonderful museum piece if restored and preserved. -Ed Burnett, Lynchburg
