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.
 
Conrail inherited most of their transfer cabooses from Penn Central who (along with predecessor New York Central) had built them by the hundreds in their own shops, largely from old boxcar components. Conrail had the largest fleet of transfer cabooses in the nation. The two road numbers in this release received this paint sometime in 1978 (two years after the creation of Conrail itself) and received the two-box format consolidated . stencils and, since they had 33" wheels, the black and yellow U-1 inspection dot.
