Eastern Railroad Discussion > What's your number?Date: 05/12/22 03:40 What's your number? Author: santafe199 On a 2019 swing east of the Mississippi I found this old PRR caboose somewhere in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As I remember, it was a pure grab shot while passing through town enroute from Altoona to an overnight stay in the Pittsburgh area. Some help with the actual caboose # would be most appreciated...
1. PRR caboose 000000 on display(?) in Johnstown, PA on May 13, 2019. Thanks for the help! Lance Garrels santafe199 Date: 05/12/22 09:00 Re: What's your number? Author: Mudrock Date: 05/12/22 10:01 Re: What's your number? Author: santafe199 Mudrock Wrote: > ... (CKIN) #13 ...
Thanks for that. So........ this was or wasn't an original PRR caboose? Lance/199 Date: 05/12/22 15:07 Re: What's your number? Author: Mudrock While the website I gave listed it as Chesapeake and Indiana, I think it may be Cambria and Indiana. See http://www.trainweb.org/cambriaindiana/ci_photos.htm and scroll about three-quarters of the way down the page.

It definitely started life as a PRR N5 Cabin Car, can't help with tracing numbers not knowing the history of how this got to where it was when you captured it. Seems that considering it is inJohnstown hard on the original PRR mainline, that it would have some facsimile of the original PRR lettering! Gonut Date: 05/12/22 22:46 Re: What's your number?

Although I appreciate the effort(s), it was indeed the original PRR # I was hoping to learn. Puch comes to shove, I'll use the shortline # Chris found. Either way, I like your: " in Johnstown hard on the original PRR mainline" sentiment. Part of my fascination with the PRR stared in my childhood, reading about the horrible Johnstown Flood way back when. Driving through the area nowadays I can see how the floodwater washed down the canyon creating such devastation... Lance Date: 05/13/22 13:32 Re: What's your number? Author: ChrisCampi 867

Nahhh....... they white-washed the number off of that wall about 20 years ago. Rumor has it she could no longer do any gardening... ;^) |
