(Offset square cupolas.) I'm away from home on vacation currently so I don't
have access to my library and other reference materials. The book
published by the NWHS, <b>Cabooses of the Norfolk and Western, </b>has
additional pictures and information. Both this book and reprints of
N&W Equipment Guides are available through the NWHS Commissary via the NWHS
web site. There are also several good books that were written about the
Wabash RR that would have additional information. The best would likely

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, <br>
<br>
I'm doing research on N&W #562764 currently located on display in Lebanon,
Ohio. One of the pages I've read lists it as part of the C-17 class used on the
N&W. Does anyone have any details about this class? I haven't had a whole
lot of luck in my Googling. I'm curious about the class itself and how some of
them made their way to the Indiana and Ohio. Dates or date ranges are always a
plus, as well as any images of this caboose or her siblings anyone may have. <br>
<br>
Here's a couple of images of the caboose before its restoration: <br>

<br>
<a href="http://caboosepics.multiply.com/photos/photo/9/9">http://caboosepics.multiply.com/photos/photo/9/9</a>
<br>
<br>
It has since been restored (sans-N&W logo) and is being used by the City of
Lebanon for safety classes and as a community meeting place. <br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance, <br>
Kyle Montgomery <o:p></o:p></p>
