<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi, <br>
<br>
I'm doing research on N&W #562764 currently located on display in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Ohio</st1:State></st1:place>.
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 <st1:State w:st="on">Indiana</st1:State> and <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State>. 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>

<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
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:City> for
safety classes and as a community meeting place. <br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance, <br>
