Genesee & Wyoming caboose #11

Hi,

I'm trying to track down LV 95131 caboose which became G&W 11 "The Stub Ellis" stationed in Retsof, NY.

About 12 years ago it left Retsof for parts unknown. One source has it "possibly" sold to owners in northwestern Pennsylvania.

I wonder if it went to another railroad in the G&W Industries Group?

Does any one have any idea where G&W 11 actually went?

Thanks, Roger

I'm not well versed in the wanderings of R&S equipment but I believe somewhere about the timeframe you mention, a couple of SW1200 switchers were sent from Rochester & Southern to the Louisiana & Delta, or somewhere near there. Is it possible the caboose went with them?

Here's a possible lead:

Hi,

Steel, bay window, SP 4613 caboose became the LDRR 1.

Thanks for the lead!

Well, it was speculated that #11 could have gone down to the LDRR... I couldn't find any info on LDRR 1 other than that it was for sale.

Why don't you just call the R&S and see if they can be of any assistance?
