One of 112 photos concerning the restoration of the Pennsy caboose. I wonder why a couple of blue cabooses happened to be in the background.
If you click the photo, there will be a "view post" link in the upper-right corner that allows you to see the other photos.

The old Conrail cabooses evidently belong to the local shortline: Delmarva Central Railroad. They have at least three of them. (Photo: Pennsy Railfan, Jun 2020)

Paul Koprowski: The caboose in the middle of that line has left the Delmarva Central, and is now at the in development Port Jervis Transportation History Center in Port Jervis, NY. Car is still in CR blue but is now marked as TOYX 21292.

Note the rectangle next to the tracks along Delaware Ave.
1955 Harrington Quad @ 24,000

That has the signature of a depot so I took a quick look. To my surprise, it is still standing.
