Norfolk Southern was one of many railroads to hold back a portion of their caboose fleet to serve as “shoving platforms.” NS 555761, a former Southern Railway Phase 1 caboose, received new NS paint with the stallion version of the NS logo and a Southern Railway logo as a nod to its past. It put in an appearance at the Streamliners At Spencer event in 2014 before returning to regular service.
