Reading Caboose #92936

Built at the Reading shops in 1942, #92936 was designed as an all steal caboose, but was sheathed in wood due to war time steal shortages. #92936 was part of the original stable of equipment acquired by the WK&S when the company was just getting started back in the early 1960's. This is perhaps my favorite piece of equipment on the WK&S. As a child riding the WK&S, #92936 is where you were most likely to find me.



Over the winter of 2003/04 #92936 received an interior refurbishing. Repairs were made to the lockers, walls, water cooler, and cushions, followed by a complete interior paint job. The color scheme is a light cream with brown, as originally found in this class caboose. The results are shown in the four pictures below.









During the summer of 2005 the east side of #92936 received much attention. The leaking cupola was repaired and the exterior sheathing was replaced.

October 2005, fresh paint!
