In the early 1920's the LIRR ordered a fleet of wood bodied, steel framed cabooses (cabin cars) to bring up the rear of its freight trains. Built by American Car & Foundry, these cars served well for over 30+ years. Most were not retired until the late 1950's. Built in 1927, No. 14 was part of the last order of N52A wooden hacks the LIRR would ever order. During her career she would see the entire Long Island system, including some parts which do not exist anymore.     More: Roster & Photos

The Long Island Railroad, always short of equipment and long the dumping ground for used Pennsylvania Railroad equipment, purchased cabooses 8301, 8304, 8306, 8308, and 8360 in March, 1957, the month the O&W went under. These cabooses, in LIRR orange and blue, added to the odd assortment of motive power and non-revenue cars that gave the Long Island's freight traffic its distinctive flavor. While they lasted only five years on the LIRR, this short period of service and maintenance was probably the salvation of two of them in unaltered form. (from OW THS)  More: Roster & Photos
