N&W Caboose #562764 (Ex-Wabash 2764)

[NW Mailing List]

These cabs (cabooses) came from the Wabash via merger with the N&W in 1964.  (Offset square cupolas.) I'm away from home on vacation currently so I don't have access to my library and other reference materials.  The book published by the NWHS, Cabooses of the Norfolk and Western, has additional pictures and information.  Both this book and reprints of N&W Equipment Guides are available through the NWHS Commissary via the NWHS web site.  There are also several good books that were written about the Wabash RR that would have additional information.  The best would likely be Wabash, by Donald J. Heimburger.  The publisher, Morning Sun, has also published several books that provide great color photographic histories of the Wabash.

Information could also be gained through the Wabash Railroad Historical Society.  http://home.comcast.net/~wabashrr/wrhs.html

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm doing research on N&W #562764 currently located on display in Lebanon, Ohio. One of the pages I've read lists it as part of the C-17 class used on the N&W. Does anyone have any details about this class? I haven't had a whole lot of luck in my Googling. I'm curious about the class itself and how some of them made their way to the Indiana and Ohio. Dates or date ranges are always a plus, as well as any images of this caboose or her siblings anyone may have.

Here's a couple of images of the caboose before its restoration:

It has since been restored (sans-N&W logo) and is being used by the City of Lebanon for safety classes and as a community meeting place.

Thanks in Advance,
Kyle Montgomery
