B&SR caboose 32/101 is a really interesting car. Built by Laconia in 1882, there are surprisingly few photos of it in service (especially in its early cupola form - the original cupola was reportedly snagged by a low wire on the car's first trip on the Harrison branch in 1898), and it seems to have never quite grabbed the attention of historians and modellers in the way the SR&RL cabooses have.
