While passing through Wayne NJ last week I snapped a photo of former Erie Railroad caboose 04927. It's located on the former property of Citro's 1900 Restaurant. As you can see it's in good shape, and it still has a Santa Fe RR logo that it received when the Victoria Station Restaurant took over.
Also visible are two semaphore signals, anyone know their heritage? One is a train order signal near the caboose, the second is visible in the second photo just past the flag pole.Possibly another train order signal? There is also a baggage cart and some other railroad related items. Of note is Pennsylvania Railroad business car "Queen Mary" that is located on the opposite side of the former restaurant (Now a professional office). The right hand side of the car was partially removed when it was attached to the building. :( I heard this car was used by former 1st lady Ladybird Johnson in the 1960's.
One of the people working in the office building said the property may be up for sale, so who knows what he fate of all the Railroad equipment may be!
