| The Pennsylvania's first mass-produced steel cabin car was the "N5", a type first built in 1914 (later models would be identified with a letter suffix). The basic structure of the N5 of 1914 remained essentially unchanged over the years until 1942. PRR's most distinctive caboose design was the N5c, and it is this type of Pennsy caboose that is now part of the Museum's collection. This style of cabin was similar to its N5 cousin, but it incorporated streamlined elements that had become popular during the Great Depression. In the early 1990s the car was privately acquired and stored on the Morristown & Erie. No restoration ever took place, and after being abandoned, the car suffered through years of adverse weather conditions and vandalism. Aquired by the WRM in 2001 and rerstored inside & out to the mid 50s era. Completed in 2006. |
