A clue as to "How this thing got here" notice that the Air Brake Angle Cock is OPEN on one end of the caboose and CLOSED on the other end which would indicate the direction it was 'Shoved' in there. 3:34 The two black boxes painted on the caboose is stencil showing it's lasting servicing and required inspection of air brakes and Journal Bearing. You probably already figured out the 'BLT 5 43' as Built May 1943. That's an old caboose and has "Journal Bearing' axles as compared to more recent 'Roller Bearings'. In the yard when I hired out as a Conductor in 1975 the 'Car Inspecters'(aka Carmen or Car Knockers) would hide their liquor bottle in the Jounal Boxes of the inbound trains they were inspecting. When the Carmen would 'Walk a Track' they would opent the Journal Box on every railcar and add oil. That's why in the old movies you see the RR Oil Cans. The traiinmaster always kept his liquor bottle in the second drawer down on his right on his desk. Many alcoholic 'Ttrainmen', 'Trackmen', 'Carmen' and even the Railroad Cop had a cooler full of Iced Beer in the trunk of the Railroad Police Car. I remember one RR Cop who was a 'Bookie' and used to drive around and talk to everyone and give them a Cold Can of Beer. No one back then ever got fired for alcohol by itself. You would have had to cause a BIG Major Derailment or fellow employee fatality to get fired. Eventually the Union would get them back to work. Oh, and another thing. Back then the WHOLE RAILROAD used Railroad Jargon or Slang. A 'Caboose' was called a 'Crummy'. The RR 'Handsign for a caboose was use your right or left hand and from above your belt to your armpit make it look like you're scratching the side of your rib cage. We used to talk almost all day in the yard using hand signs. Handheld radios hadn't been approved for railraod use yet. I suppose youu can Google 'Railroad Handsigns' or 'Railroad Slang' and get more details. I was sad to see all those things go away over time. Consequent the 'New Hires' never 'Kept a Eye on their Surroundings' and were prone to missing a lot of information and awareness of potential fatal mistakes. In my 37 years 15 fellow trainmen were killed on my railroad. 16th fatality March 2021 conductor crushed between boxcar and idellng locomotive 'Left Out to Foul.' Retired in 2015 with all of my limbs and most of my brain. It's somebody elses turn to run that railroad now. Thanks for the video ! Wes, Surf City, Calif

Historically, cabooses had bunk beds, cookstove and other amenities so the entire crew of the train could eat and sleep between "runs". That pretty much had ended by the 1950's when crews would be taxied to a railroad hotel. But cabooses continued to be used well into the 1980s so the rear end crew (conductor, rear brakeman, flagman) could ride and watch the train ahead and protect the rear of the train when stopped or shoving back. They had a whistle or horn attached to air tank feed off the brake line on each end, as well as the handbrakes and a "conductors valve" so the conductor could set the air brakes which would signal the engineer to stop. The red cord was attached to the emergency conductors valve that "dumped the air" on the train putting the train brakes into emergency (instant max braking force). That was only used in emergency situations, but the conductor used his regular valve to signal the engineer who may be well over a mile away and out of earshot of the horn or whistle. I wish you would have shown the COTS plate better. That is the black rectangle outlined in white on the sides of the caboose. It shows the build date on it, along with other info like the type of brake valve. Looks like it says it was either built in 5-13 or 5-43.

This video sure brought memories of the time I bought a caboose back in 80’s in southern Manitoba for $2000 from a guy who worked for CPR as a brakeman out of Brandon MB. Had it trucked by my brother in law outside to a village called Napinka in SW Manitoba. There with my wife and 3 children lived for about 4 years while I built a stack wall home on the banks of the Souris river, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

1) The red pull rope was replaced recently by probably the family -- it originally would have been wire rope and it was used to signal the engineer, similar to a pull rope used to signal a bus driver you want them to stop at the next stop, 2) the large cup holder you refer to was to hold a fire extinguisher. 3) the smaller holders that had multiple holes was to hold flags. 4) green paint was original inside -- it was that color green because it was determined back in the days of old it would sooth ones tensions (for real!). 5) looks like someone re-paneled the exterior with some type of plywood. 6) two of the three windows on the one side are house windows and not original to the train. 7) as 'funnelfan' said below the caboose was for all train staff to use and would have had lots of amenities. 8) the turning wheels on each end of the caboose are "brakes" and it appears one is locked on.---an old train guy

Many people purchased these old cabooses from the railways when they abolished them in the 80’s and had them trucked and craned to a plot of land. They make fantastic cabins or a permanent micro homes for some. These were all quality built rolling structures that embodied mostly wood and metal and back in the 40’s & 50’s old growth clear Fir was the favoured choice for building such structures. You’d be hard pressed to find any plastic on these vans. Would love to own one myself! 😁

My guess is the cable put the train into emergency stop in the event of a problem. In the video, it appeared to be connected to an air pipe, and probably opened an air valve, bleeding off the air pressure and applying the breaks. The conductor was in the caboose and watched the rear half of the train to make sure there were no problems. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

What fantastic find. The gentleman had some very special children to gift him a caboose. Another great explore 👊👍

The scope and variety of your explorations are very impressive, Brent. This was very cool and still in Great shape for its age. It's bigger and better equipped than some tiny houses. The family loved their Dad a lot to give him such an unusual and expensive thing for a present.

My uncle Fred worked in a factory that made the rail, wheels, caboose, rail cars. I miss him. He pass away in 1977 and every time I go back to Canada, I stop at the cemetary first before going to see my love one.

I think I may have seen a magazine-article about this caboose back in the '80's, when it was originally set there; it was called something like, "the highest-up caboose in the world", or at least maybe in Canada. :D

So awesome Brent!! Wow, truly a unique explore. That would be a super cool hang-out spot with friends or for alone time. Thanks for sharing, I've never seen the inside of a caboose that wasn't in a movie! Thanks for hiking for us! 😃🥰 Love, hugs & God Bless you

Very cool, that would make a really nice little cabin in the woods. It was built to last on the railroad so sitting in the woods it would last a good long time with minimal upkeep.

Really cool, like you, I love trains. Growing up as a kid in the Midwest of the USA I’d always watch for the caboose to know when the end of the train was near. Sad they are no longer needed, glad I grew up during a time they were used. Thanks for the information on how it got where it was, some really great children to spend that much on a birthday present, curious if the father worked for the railroad?

A very interesting find! My hometown here is MN has a small train-type caboose, just sitting on the main road going into town as part of the towns history I believe. It has been there I should say since before I was born-moved there as a kid in '91. They've repainted it over the years but it has been red for sometime now! Thought I would share as it's so wholesome to see every time I go there to see my parents. :)

I remember getting a ride in a caboose once when I was a teen just down the railroad track 100 ft from our house.was the middle of winter and we used the tracks as a short cut to get to school. Train gave my friend and I a ride down to the next road crossing. It was lovely and warm in there, had one of those round stoves in it. You find the most unusual things way out in the bush Brent. I really enjoy your explorations into these abandoned buildings.
