Man, I would not want to be the guy in charge of calculating the crane required for this lift although I knew guy who did that for a living. Kudos to the ground crew for taking a hell of a risk.

I love a LV caboose. What’s in Lehighton?

[@saltman9584]

It was home to the LVRR Packerton Yard. It was a major yard for the LV. Even though now its long gone, at one point it was a major hub for the LVRR. The CNJ also crossed over the yard and also used to have a connecting track into the yard before it was removed during the Conrail era. here is a video of today showing what's left of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2qnl5yNpMyIidU

My grandfather, when only in his mid 20s (with 2 young kids to raise & support) was crushed at work when it fell on him, crushed his skull-- back in mid 1920s, RR gave his widow pension of $7 a month. Dangerous job!

Well done for saving it, what are the future plans for it?

[@PeterInPa]

I was told they were looking for grants to restore it. I don't know if they plan to have it open for tours.

Nice job on this video, Pete. I started making KZbin videos under my name about life on the railroad but they are not of your quality. Jerry Hoare

[@ernestyeagley512]

Take it from a retired railroad career man: The wheel sets of the caboose are identified as "trucks", not "bogies". Besides the spelling for bogies is not boogies (the latter is something you pick out your nose.

[@PeterInPa]

Corrected. Thank you.
