anyone know what ever happened to this caboose?
or what her LV number was?

since she says "built 5-46" on the side,
we can narrow it down to only 14 possible cabooses, out of 140.
she has to be LV 95126 - 95140
one of only 14 in the last batch the LV built.

according to the survivor list, she isnt with us..

there are several LV surviving cabooses who's LV number is unknown.

I thought I heard that caboose went to another G&W operation but I could be wrong. Back then, before they grew to today's size, the operation in Louisiana was about all they had. Any chance it wound up down there?
