REVERSED PAINT SCHEME
The Conrail NJ&NY local at Hillsdale N.J. with Dunmore caboose C191 in November of 1976. This was the welded version of the Dunmore caboose and it rode on the notorious reused, rough riding, freight car trucks. What looks like an extension cord is running out of one of the rear windows and is headed for the roof for reasons unknown to me. Always wondered who was responsible for that sharp looking reversed maroon/gray/yellow EL color scheme. Conrail power on this given day was an ex PRR Alco S2 9783. In early photos of the station it showed the outhouses located near that large rock just to the right of the caboose. I believe that the rock has a story of its own but maybe someone else can chime in with some details on its history. Howard Kent Jr.
