Subject: Press Release, Caboose Acquired

The Conrail Historical Society, Inc. finally acquired Conrail N7E bay window
caboose 21165 on April 16, 2007. This caboose was among twenty of the last
cabooses built new for the Erie Lackawanna railroad in November 1970 by the
International Car Company.

After nearly three years of work the acquisition effort finally became a
reality. During what local news channels reported as the worst storm ever in
recorded history for New York, dumping as much as 9 1/2" of rain over
Brooklyn, Manhattan and parts of Long Island, the caboose was succesfully
loaded onto a gooseneck trailer for shipment to the Middletown & Hummelstown
Railroad in Middletown, PA where the caboose will be restored and used in
passenger train operations.

CRHS members Ryan Emrick, Brock Kerchner, JB Kerr, Kris Klemick, Mike and
Russ Swinnerton were part of the "21165 Moving Team". Their efforts, as well
as all those who helped make the first monumental chapter in the history of
the CRHS a success are well represented by the acquisition of the 21165.

Photos taken by CRHS President Kristopher Klemick.
