I got a phone call last night from a gentelman, a friend of his has a Former CNW steel caboose for sale. I do not know of the condition But was told a Hot Dog stand was one opperated out of it. So it may have some modification to the caboose, however it may be great for some one who is looking for a cabin or something to place on their land, or even a cabin at a railway museum. From what I was told he is looking for $1000.00 for the caboose, contact me off list if you are intrested and I will give you the gentelamns contact information.

Hi,

Most CNW steel cabooses were bay window style, but the CNW did have some ex-RI wide vision cupola models.

If anyone contacts the seller, find out which style it is, if there are any markings, if it is on trucks, and the locations.

Thanks, Roger

What I could find on Google Maps indicated more of a ICRR style. Still for sale?

I have no idea, I forgot I even made this post 5 years ago.

Oh shoot, I didn't see that date up there. Solving minor mysteries is a good escape from the insanity of Turkey Day, though. So from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Tavor -

If you found it on Google Maps, does that mean it is still there today?
