We photographed this twice. Once on the former Reading Company line at Yardley, Pennsylvania. And again on the former Pennsylvania Railroad Trenton Cutoff near Morrisville.
This unusual train had locomotives at the front and back (to aid in changing direction) and an Air Products caboose.

It appears to have supplied riding space for additional employees, probably those from the heat exchanger manufacturer? I didn’t speak with anyone from the railroad on the day so I cannot say for certain, however, there were two men riding in it on the day we made the photographs. BS.

What was the reason for the caboose?
