From today's Long Island Newsday:

"End of the Line

Caboose No. 12, one of the old wood-bodied, steel-framed cars the Long Island Rail Road once used on freight trains, was returned yesterday to the Oyster Bay Department of Public Works in Syosset via Cross Sound ferry and flatbed truck. It will remain there until a new town railroad museum planned in Oyster Bay hamlet is ready"

Looks to be in good shape. I wonder where it came from?

The car is an N22A and amazingly the information in Newsday is fairly accurate. It had been at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Branford, CT for over 40 years. You can find out all the details at the link below.
