Spotted a PRR Caboose For Sale in Thorndale, PA

Just thought Id drop a post on here for some of you guys that are interested in this type o stuff..

It seemed to be a business located in Thorndale, PA across from a shopping center..

Had a sign that said everything for sale ( which included the crossing gates, whistle sign, and the PRR caboose)...not sure if there was anything else....


Its located right next to the SEPTA R5 trackage in that area...on which i also saw a LORAM Ballast machine sitting in a small MoW yard near they Doylestown R5 stop...

used to be an ice cream shop

I think it was called "Ice Cream Junction or Caboose Junction"

Next to Coppa's 82 restuarant on Business Route 30.

it has been for sale for at least 2 years now

What kind of condition is it in and how much does he want for it?

That has been closed and for sale since about 1996. I've lived in the area since 1993, and went there a few times the first year or 2, then it closed.

Hi,

The caboose formerly used as Ice Cream Junction on Bus. Rt. 30 is PRR 477615, built 7/17.

Cheers, Roger

Here it is. I took these pictures in May 2006. (The R5/Amtrak line runs behind it.)
