Shohola Caboose

In 1892 the Erie Railroad built a small four wheel caboose numbered 4259 for use on short runs. The increase in freight tonnage made this style of caboose obsolete and after six years of service, following a crash that lifted it off its wheels, Erie Caboose #4259 was left in the Susquehanna, Pennsylvannia railroad yard where it was used as a foreman's office in the sawmill section where ties were cut.
