Used for transfer runs across town, these cabooses can still be found in service as "shoving platforms," providing a safe place for the conductor to work during reverse movements.
 
Models come ready-to-run with magnetically operating knuckle style couplers, metal detail parts and appropriate trucks for the road name.
 
Amtrak became a major owner of right-of-way during the organizing of Conrail. Passenger traffic was king on Penn Central's Northeast Corridor between Washington D.C. and Boston so turning over ownership of the line to Amtrak seemed to be the best solution. With that, Amtrak assembled a sizeable fleet of maintenence-of-way equipment, including cabooses. Transfer cabooses of NYC/PC ancestry are part of that fleet. We are doing two road numbers for this run and they look quite different from each other because no two of the prototypes are lettered alike!
