The late Joe Brauner, of Pennsylvania, had a large assortment of caboose pics taken in the 40's-60's. Here's a shot he sent me which I'll also post in the New York State forum.
The caboose almost certainly is ex NYO&W. The pic was taken at what later became Frontier Yard on the NYC 10-23-1952. Initial suggests it may have been owned by International Railways, an interurban in the Buffalo NY area. That line shut down in 1937 if I'm not mistaken so no idea where the car was after that. EDIT: On the NY State forum it was noted that the IRCX reporting marks belonged to Indian Refining, not a vestige of International Railways as I erroneously guessed. It was suggested that MAY have been the former NYOW 8014, sold to JW&NW, but not confirmed.
Sadly, its condition in the photo suggests that it did not have a very long future ahead of it.
