GOLD SERIES

The NYC "Standard" Caboose.  Well, as standard as the NYC had. With cabooses coming from many predecessor roads, 1912 saw the beginning of a large scale rebuilding of the 19000-series offset cupola wood cabooses for the NYC System roads.

Due to being part of a long rebuilding program at multiple shops, and starting from a variety of caboose designs, there were a great many variations. The low offset clearance cupola and a steel underframe with truss rods were among the spotting features common for this series of caboose.

They were assigned to the major NYC subsidiaries, including the P&LE, PMcK&Y, B&A and MC.

In addition, the while under NYC control, the Rutland Railroad built a dozen of these cabooses in their shops using NYC plans. Even in that small number variations exist, with a different cupola used on at least two, following repairs later in their life.
