Posted by Gringo Loco 4/29/2007 5:00 PM | remove   My only guess would be to generate electricity for the caboose. Posted by Bustedknuckle 11/15/2008 1:54 AM | remove   And your guess would be absolutely correct.

The short haul guys out of Fort Edward NY have to run up the line backwards and use the caboose as lead. Basically two guys on the caboose with spotlights, an airhorn and a radio. Posted by emdf7a 10/1/2009 1:09 PM | remove   Most cabooses are used as "shoving platforms" now and are usually totally empty inside. Some are even welded or locked shut. Posted by meshif 1/26/2010 5:35 AM | remove   Not sure why I don't have the set on here yet but the Essex Terminal Railway has 2 cabooses in pristine condition. They even replace the glass when stupid kids smash it out. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
