Saw an article in the June 2nd issue of the Valley Independent pertaining to an old caboose from the Monessen Southwestern Railway to be restored. Here's the link to the article:

And a picture of the caboose in its hey day:

Did the MSW have two or three of these custom made
shoving platform/transfer cabs??? Or just this one?

BTW, a major P&WV NE-cab up-date is almost complete.
This part one series will have 30 or so pages of Images, Drawings & Documents
of these 15 P&WV Rook- built caboose kits.

PWVJer, I was chatting with my mother's neighbor, who was a crane operator in Gibson Yard. He says he thinks that platform caboose was only one of three cabooses the MSW had. One was actually a boxcar (not sure of this). The other one, well, I may be wrong, but I dont want to spoil any surprises so I'll wait 'til after part II of NE caboose update to tell about the third one.
