CSTM/CN005404
The CVR used its cabooses to advertise its
“Rocket” fast-freight service in the early 1930s and again in the 1970s. Caboose 4008 is
typical of the Canadian National Railway family of wooden “vans” and
was built according to a Grand Trunk Western design. It was retrofitted with a steel
underframe in 1929 and sold to the Central Vermont Railway in 1971.
