History: 518 at McKees Rocks

Videocassette of Pittsburgh & Lake Erie 518

During the clean-out of 518, we discovered an old VHS-C videocassette. It took some time to find a way to play it, but the wait was worthwhile. The videocassette contained clips of our cabooses at the McKees Rock car shop. P&LE 518 along with 516, 565, and an unnumbered bay window caboose in green paint, are shown being prepared for the move to Kasgro Rail in New Castle. P&LE 518 and 565 would later be moved to Caboose Falls. 516 went to the Kiski Junction Railroad in Schenley, Pennsylvania. The fate of the unnumbered caboose is unknown.
