THE CABOOSE IS NO LONGER STATIONED IN VANKLEEK HILL - AS OF JUNE 10, 2020 - As seems to be the case every weekend, caboose CN 79834 is seen parked in Vankleek Hill on CN's Vankleek Spur. This caboose was built by CN in their Pointe St-Charles shop in Montreal under the same number decades ago. CN sold it to the Ontario L'Orignal Railway (OLOR) in 1996, which was taken over by the Ottawa Central Railway. In 2008 CN took over the Ottawa Central and renumbered the caboose back to its CN number. It is used for backup moves on the L'Orignal Spur and is in progressively worse shape. The caboose was spotted in Ottawa a couple of years back. Who knows were it will be in a couple of years. Location ID #BR0088
