N5K Conrail #18443-18449
In 1970 AT&SF sold Penn Central
seven cabooses that became the N-5K cabooses after heavy modification
by PC. They were assigned to transfer service. Conrail did not
renumber them.
CR 18443 was originally ATSF 1564
CR 18444 was originally ATSF 1626
CR 18445 was originally ATSF 1704
CR 18446 was originally ATSF 1717
CR 18447 was originally ATSF 1720
CR 18448 was originally ATSF 2258 had a peaked roof
CR 18449 was originally ATSF 2263 had a peaked roof
Built by AT&SF in 1951. These cars
were originally full cupola-style with four windows on each side.
After PC bought them, the cupola was cut down; leaving a stubby
bump in the roofline. Several windows were plated over and a new
bay window added.
