Built circa 1940 as a steel N5B caboose for the Pennsylvania Railroad, transferred to Penn Central Railroad after the PRR & NYC merger. After the collapse of Penn Central, ownership was transferred to Conrail who retired the car. It was sold into private ownership and converted a motel unit with the addition of a restroom and shower and a logo from the New York Central Railroad was added to the exterior. Some of the car attributes include good to fair body, friction bearings, sleeps 5, electric heat.

Q- How much does it cost to ship a caboose by truck? 
A- The cost to ship a caboose by truck is based on mileage and local crane costs. On an average, you can expect to spend a minimum of $8,000-$10,000 if a car is 1 to 2 hours from the final destination. And a minimum of $15,000-$25,000 if the car is further away. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and we do have several qualified companies we can recommend to assist in the shipping process. If the buyer plans on making the shipping arrangements with a service provider of their choosing, we can assist with speaking with the service provider on what will be required to get the car moved. Often a service provider will either quote high or won't quote at all if they have never moved railroad equipment. After speaking with us, they normally feel more at ease in quoting the job.
