This photograph showcases our Pittsburgh & Lake Erie bay window caboose, P&LE 518, as it appeared 11 years before making its way to Caboose Falls. Built in 1960 by the International Car Company in Kenton, Ohio, P&LE 518 was one of ten steel bay window cabooses ordered by the railroad. Delivered in striking red paint and adorned with New York Central System markings, these cabooses reflected a shift towards modern, durable designs during a transformative period in railroading history.
