Faux L&N caboose
Title:  Faux L&N caboose
Description:  Here's another "counterfeit caboose" - it appears to be a former C&O/Chessie C-25 class car. To my knowledge, the L&N never bought any steel extended vision cupola cabooses - the only ones they owned came from the Monon and looked quite a bit different than this.
