Another DAR caboose saved?

Post by SamuelMClark »

Does anyone know what DAR Caboose this is that's apparently at the South Simcoe Heritage Railway, Tottenham, ON

I've also emailed the Heritage Group to see if they could confirm that image and what the number is of the caboose.

So according to an email I just got back this is the DAR caboose

"Samuel, the number was DAR #5398, CPR # 435398 built 1891"

I've replied back to them again asking for more information, about how they got it, who owned it before them.

She's in pretty rough shape. :( Mind you it was in rough shape back in the 70's already.

Nice to find another survivor though. Good detective work! :D
