The Union RR Bay window shorty belonged to a short line still mill railroad and was built in 1970. It was short height and lengthwise is order to make the tight turns inside a steel mill. It had few windows because they would often melt in the mill due to the heat. There were about 33 of these built, his was C-1017. It was purchased from a trucking company in Salen Ohio who bought it from the railroad. The Union RR retired most of these when they merged with the Bessemer and Lake Erie to form Transtar Corporation. They then used the larger more modern B&LE cabooses. A few of these are still in service at the Edgar Thompson Works in Clairtin, PA. He is making the outside of both mostly original, but the inside into vacation cottages. |

N5c was built in April 1941 by the Pennsylvania RR, and was originally assigned to Sandusky Ohio, and then in the mid 1950's to Philadelphia. It did have the train phone antenna system and was originally numbered 477927, later PennCentral / Conrail 23099. It ran until the early 1980's and was then stored in Reading PA. He bought it from a coal company who purchased it from Conrail. He has dated it back to the 1940's look and has new roof walks and antennas for it. The PRR made 199 of these. |
