GTW Transfer Caboose by woodybobbin on Flickr.

Caption: “1962. 71st Street and Central Park. This was one of several transfer runs that went daily from Elsdon to Clearing and return. Arch bar trucks, truss rods, wood sheathing, a gorgeous orange color and a big ol’ maple leaf. A beautiful caboose and the only right and proper ending for a freight train.”
