The Railroad Caboose: Its 100 Year History, Legend, and Lore
By : William F. Knapke, Freeman Hubbard
Everyone is familiar with the railroad caboose, the home of the conductor and train crew who used to ride on the end of a freight train. It was a mobile office, a lookout post. It was a van on the Canadian National, and a cabin car on the New York Central, a buggy on the Boston & Maine" but whatever name, it remains symbolic of the railroad scene and the way it was. This is a complete story of the caboose from the earliest days to it being replaced by an electronic gadget.
