Does anyone know of an existing database for the NYC wooden cabooses? I'm not a member of the various NYC societies or on-line groups but am not aware of any such listing. For many years I have been keeping my own list of what I come across, including book photos, on-line pics such as George Elwood's site, and info I have regarding assignments, scrappings, wrecks etc. No particular purpose to it except curiosity and posterity. If anyone is doing something similar I'd be interested in comparing notes, and if such a compilation is already posted somewhere I can add to it.

there is a wooden NYC caboose currently under restoration at the Danbury Railway Museum.
Perfect example. I show that to be the 19322, which used to be at a restaurant? Sounds like it now has a good home. Any idea where it used to be used when in service?
