Caboose

 

PRR #477004


 

The N-5 was the Pennsylvania Railroad's first caboose built with all-steel construction.  These cabooses featured a central cupola with windows, which allowed the crew to have a clear view of the train.  The design of the N-5 caboose is noted for its streamlined roof.  Production of the N-5 class cabooses began in 1914 and continued until 1942.  It was designed and built at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona, PA complex.
