Hi.

I found a photo with a caboose in NJT Disco Stripe Paint. It was used behind a GP-7. Can you tell me something about the caboose? Tpye, using, where is it today?

thanks, michael

We had three or four of those 900 series hacks for work train service. Former PRR, I believe. They lasted up to the early 1990s. I don't know their dispositions.

Are you referring to the type of caboose in this photo?:

Where did the roster numbers change from those former PRR cabooses to the bay window style cabooses that are still around? I know 904 is a bay window caboose, and is stored on an isolated section of track at the CNJ's Jersey City Terminal. I am fairly certain that 903 is a bay window caboose in active service.

Yes, i mean this caboose. Is there a HO model available of this type?

Thanks, Mike
