I've just purchased an N5 B cabin car and would like to know of any sources of information as I research this for restoration.
It is on live rail and I will be able to use it once in a while.
Thank you.
Scott

Scott, There is a Conrail Caboose Photo Archive web page by i think a Jim Hebner that has photo's of the different classes of Conrail cabooses wich does have some photo's of some N5B's.I presume you already know its a ex PRR caboose of wich those were built starting in 1941.What number is yours and do you have any photo's to post? Also i wish you well with your restoration!

The number is 22797. From the web info it appears that it was PRR 477680 although I don't know how they determined that.
I can't seem to get the file of the photo to attach. It says something like file was invalid. Anyone have thoughts on how to make it work.

Is this the car? If so then yes, all the PRR lists I've checked show the car as PRR 477680
