DL&W wooden cabooses that went south

Anyone have details of the DL&W cabooses that went south?

I understand that Gainesville Midland, Interstate RR and Georgia RR got some of the old wooden hacks at some point. Did any survive ?

One went one mile north to Howard Gunlocke's backyard on Second Ave in Wayland, NY.

Painted yellow now.

Also, didn't the Raritan River and the WAG get some? WAG's went south with Louisiana.

The two cabooses on the WAG were former Erie RR Dunmore welded steel cabooses, not DL&W wooden hacks. Some friends of mine and I made a trip out there in the 70's and inquired about buying one but they were not for sale.

I remember seeing about a half dozen wooden cabooses there, too.

Apalachicola Northern caboose X7 was ex-DL&W. There is a picture of it in Knapke's book "The Railroad Caboose" and I believe there's a color shot somewhere on the web as well. At one time it was blue, with stripes at the end of each side to match those on the EMD switchers, which were also blue. I have no idea what the DL&W number was.

The Raritan River ex-DL&W caboose was their # 5, again I don't have the DL&W number.

Genesee & Wyoming RR #8 was DL&W, it's now at the New York Museum of Transportation at Industry NY near Rochester.

The WAG had 5 cabooses in later years. The 2 ex-ERIE cabs were numbered 103 and 104 and that would appear to have been their original numbers. They also had 3 ex-B&O, ex-BR&P wooden cabooses still carrying their B&O numbers, 2620, 2640, and 2654.

The number of this car is unknown.
