Wood Cabooses

[e-paw]

Well I can tell you that the CNJ had wooden cabooses in service right to the end. Although none had been allowed to be used in mainline service, or helper districts. Only on branch lines with speed restrictions or in switching districts. I do not believe that any made it into service with Conrail. The last twenty or so years on the central were more like a rolling museum than a class one railroad. Hope that helps.
