Lehigh Valley Railroad caboose no. 95056 suffered decades of neglect and misuse, but a painstaking restoration has the 1937 Bethlehem creation looking brand-new again - and it was done almost entirely by one man in his backyard.
Special thanks to Tom Baughman and his family for their accommodations and assistance in this production.

We need people like you to restore other cabooses anywhere you're needed. This is how you should spend your retirement. I wish I had your skills. I'm just a truck driver

Great job, I was born and raised near Allentown, PA. Spent a lot of time riding a yard job in Packerton and twice a road job out of Allentown, after my Navy days I was a brakeman on the Chestnut Ridge RY in Palmerton and sometimes worked on the section gang on the Mack Rail car they had. Those were the days sis.

I just bought a beachfront property with 2 cabooses and a pullman car on rails converted into a home. I feel your pain... I am only in the beginning stages. Lets connect!!

Very Nice Restoration.. I like the steel Caboose and all the hard effort you put into it... Ours is wood and built in 1898 SP

I had a similar journey with my Illinois Central caboose. Glad to see someone else has a caboose They are passionate about and taking care of.

Very good! 've been mulling over getting a building brought in approximately that size and making it into a caboose. I think somebody would make quite a bit of money creating the accessories needed to create a caboose (albeit a stationary one).

I have a Reading caboose which I also restored. The project took all of two years of hard intense work. I am a welder as well as a SheetMetal Journeyman and a Boilermaker, so I had the needed skills to do the job. It has to be a labor of love , because of the effort to do a complete restoration, but the end result is worth it. Love how yours turned out.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this! My grandfather Jack Koehler always wanted a Lehigh Valley caboose and I have been hoping to follows his dreams of owning one but this really opened my eyes about how much work goes into it! Maybe one day! Glad this Valley caboose has a great home 😀

@truenorth3077 Жыл бұрын

That's really cool! I've been reading about the history of cabooses and learned that Leigh Valley built 140 cars to the Reading design starting back in 1937. There was a picture of the 95 064 and the 95 088 caboose.

Oh wow! I didn't realize that there's more than one backyard caboose owners! I know a family down in Vegas that has one in their backyard as well! It's always cool to see this stuff being preserved, and it's always interesting to see what trails and tribulations people would encounter when repairing these!

Sad that you couldn't include the bathroom and stove. I've seen others on KZfaq that are b&b's. I'd love to have one.

Awesome video! I thought I saw his caboose on my way to NC or it might’ve been someone else’s but I remember it being in a backyard.

Was going to buy one for 5 grand, except the move is what I couldn’t afford…

Just curious, how much did you get it for at auction? Also how much did it cost to move it? I ask this because there is a 1958 Canadian Pacific caboose coming up for auction where I live. I am not familiar how much all of this stuff goes for.. This caboose has the original stove and toilet. I am thinking if I can get this that I can make my own BBQ pit inside in place of the stove. I thought this would make for a nice place to BBQ and be a place to sit and eat, sort of like an outside porch

Very cool, lot of hard work. Where is this located exactly in north canton? Very familiar with the area, used to live in canton/Massillon area for 20 years.

The caboose is located at Tom Baughman’s private residence in Lake Township.
