Built in 1926 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. At the time, this caboose was equipped with handbrakes. Although we refer to these pieces of rolling stock as a caboose, the Pennsylvania Railroad called these cabin cars. This caboose had the conductor's area on one end, and the rest of the train crew would have the end that was further away from the heater. They would have to wear extra layers of clothing. It sits on display now at the Railroad Tower Museum.
