Canton,
Ohio
mystery caboose.
was
an ice cream shop, is now a CB shop.
need
to determine the LV number.
"I think we can now narrow the Canton, Ohio
caboose down to one of 6 cabs now.
The 95059 according to your builder data info
shows the 95059 as having the fabricated
steel steps like on mine.The Canton caboose
had the remains of the cast iron style steps
even though the bottoms are all partially
torched off. That would then narrow it down
as to being one of these 6 cabs.
The 95004, 95007, 95056, 95075, 95084, 95092."
-Fritz Kuenzel
Update
on
the Canton, Ohio caboose:
"When
I checked out Gulliver's truck stop, Canton, OH,
to look for the LV hack I found the entire truck
stop in a pile of rubble.
They tore it down and there was no sign of the caboose."

see this thread for more discussion on the mystery LV cabooses.
The
LV built 140 of the "North East Style" steel cabooses
in
the Sayre shops between 1937 and 1946.
numbers 95001 - 95140
They
were
*not*
built in numerical order!
the
first batch, in 1927, were numbers 95050 - 95069.
so
really, LV caboose 95050 can be considered the "first
built"..
not
number 95001, which was built 4 years later, and was
really the 104th caboose built!
They
were
based
on the original Reading Railroad design.
the
most obvious spotting feature that differentates the LV
cars
from
the North East style cabooses of the Reading and other
railroads
is
the distinctive "drip strip" over the windows on the LV
cabooses.
