Cabooses Galore! Cabooses On Freight Trains! Part 2, TRAINS WITH CABOOSES!!

[@willamcombs1106]

Thanks for all the Caboose shots. You never see them anymore in service and they make the end of the train look much better than a ETD flashing light.

[@MK06563]

You can say that again

[@captainkeyboard1007]

I prefer the caboose over the flashing rear end device (FRED). The railroads were made to be manually operated. Computer and electronic technology should not be applied to replace manpower. The railroad cannot see things that the human eyes can see.

[@slicaltimistic1]

They still using it today in some locations.

[@bobwoodkat]

I grew up when they still used cabooses and when I see a freight train go by without one it seems incomplete.

[@vicipaulino8762]

Trains had a caboose and people respected other's property. Didn't have all of that ridiculous spray paint all over the cars.

It has been MANY MANY YEARS since I've seen an old Atlantic Coast Line caboose.😮😮😮 Wish you had shown the red Southern Railroad caboose,but,seeing the old ACL,and, the two B&O cabooses makes up for it.❤❤❤😊😊😊 Keep up your good work.❤❤❤

Whoa! Mr Tooth! Enjoy your footage and that Southern Flavor!

[@JawTooth]

Oh yeah!

[@Footy_Fan]

We have rented a caboose 3 times on the Whitewater Valley Railroad like you rode on down to gorgeous Metamora, Indiana. We also rode in a standard passenger car where the crew dressed as the cast of Tombstone and reenacted key parts of the movie whilst pretending to rob us. That locomotive in Spencer, NC may be my all-time favorite. I have been fascinated with trains since I was a little boy (especially cabooses). I used to want to live in one when I grew up.

[@ralphjames1211]

[@travislogerwell2675]

I noticed that some cabooses had the windows bordered up. I think it is great to see a caboose at the end of a train it makes it look more complete than not having one.

[@anatolib.suvarov6621]

On that last cabin car, the reason one coupler is "recessed", while the opposite end is extended, is because it has a hydra cushioning system, which is broken, and the draw bar is free moving.

[@calif1mc]

I miss seeing the caboose on the end of every train, it's such a treat now to see them on the end! I'm 46, I have so many good memories as a kid waving to the guy in the cupola or bay window at the end of every train. Until they started to pool them, and eventually replace them, that caboose literally was their home and office while on duty, crews used to get a caboose assigned, and they kept them spotless. One of the only railroads I know of that still uses one on every train is the Union RR, in PA.

[@ruffian2952]

I had one of those assigned cabooses. It had a working john, running water, lights, three mattresses, working stove that burned without oil stink, shades in four windows, ice box, doors with minor wind leakage. The company sent it to any job I owned. It was my home out of town. Used to stay in it instead of the railroad Y in New Haven. Pool cabs were in shambles, nobody had pride in them. And after awhile a following developed with trackside residents and commuters waiting for their trains. I waved to my tiny daughter going over the Viaduct at Canton Junction, Massachusetts. Many of my co-workers would lay on the horn at all hours of the day because I lived across the street from the Viaduct. Retired now. Just as well freight service dried up over the Shoreline.

[@foxthorne]

That old little caboose could be turned into a tiny home instead of being scrapped.

[@rebelbaron7003]

Love cabooses,miss them all. They gave the freight as much character as the loco.

[@ralphjames1211]

[@nanjappa42]

Cabooses are interesting, I like them We in India don't have Cabooses, but we have "guard vans" at the end of every train, passenger or goods. The guard van in a passenger train is merely a part of a car, but the one on a goods train is a separate mini car, with a platform at both ends and hand rails. They don't have any extension on top, though. Somehow, I feel cabooses.guard vans add to the personality of the train. Such small additions add to the enchantment of watching trains. Thanks for this video featuring many cabooses.

[@frederickwise5238]

I thot it was cabeese when there's more than one. (just pullin your knuckle coupler. LOL)

The caboose is an important car to a freight train. The crew can do things better than what electronic and computer apparatus can do. The railroad was made for manual operation, but not ready for full conversion to automatic operations.

Now that's what I call a freight train the Nickel Plate Road engine in the front and the Caboose in the rear that's the way a freight train supposed to be not the way they doing it nowadays can't understand why they're doing it it's stupid I was always told never to push a contest that fast in Reverse always pull it

[@frederickwise5238]

No need for a caboose any more.with roller bearings on all axles and crews being cut .With sleeved axles lubed by oily waste in the box, there were occasional fires. The guys in the caboose watched for that and it also made a place for the crew members..I feel the same way tho.

[@vicipaulino8762]

Had to have a place for the conductor to handle business, and the brakemen to hang out before computers and wabco.

[@frederickwise5238]

@@vicipaulino8762 Before roller bearings, axles were lubed by oil in "cloth waste" in the bearing boxes.. If the waste dried out enuf the box could catch fire. Brakemen in the caboose watched for "hot boxes" along with "those other chores".

[@garyholt4445]

Australian trains never had a caboose at the rear of the train however there was a guards van at the end of the train. A section of the end freight car was usually the guards van. The guards van had a similar function as the caboose but never had cooking or sleeping space.

[@paulziolo9241]

What a wonderful thing is the caboose! They should always bring up the REAR of freight trains. I deram of travelling in one attached to a 709-car freight train crossing Australia’s Great Western Desert. A caboose should be fully comfortable - a little apartment, in fact, where little souls can travel in comfort. See the short movie Steam (1993) about a little girl (Miranda Stuart Rhyne) and a caboose.

[@JawTooth]

I remember the caboose also. I lived next to a CSX line in Ohio when they stopped using them in 1985. I still remember the day I realized that they were gone. I am working on a 3rd caboose compilation video right now.

[@ericschminke8233]

I'm curious as to why a few trains, most notably the first CSX that had 23 or 24 car consist that traveled thru Lakeland, FL. and a 2nd CSX that appeared at 5:29 and had a 19-car consist that traveled through Plant City, FL, both of which were being pushed by 2 diesels, did so in reverse. They seemed to be moving at about 25-30 mph but didn't appear to be headed toward a yard. Incidentally, what types of diesels were they?

[@JawTooth]

They were making long reverse moves to work customers. Without watching the video I am guessing GP38-2 since I have seen them in those areas quite a bit.

[@ericschminke8233]

Roger Dodger. My post makes it obvious that while I'm fascinated with trains, when it comes to identifying diesels I still have an "untrained" eye. Thanks 1,000-fold for the quick reply.

sven martin don't hold your breath, railroads are trying to cut crews, not increase them.

[@talonpilot]

Cabooses (sometimes called a ‘Shoving Platform’) are mainly used nowadays when long shoves are required so that the Conductor/Foeman/Brakeman don’t have to ride on the side for long periods of time. They are NOT going to be making a comeback! It usually requires 2 extra moves when using one, (aka more time) so most RR’s dont want them unless absolutely needed.

[@ruffian2952]

@@talonpilot Also used to reduce the arbitrary payment for shoving cars over an agreed upon distance without a caboose. I had a job in local freight service in the late 80s, early 90s that made a minimum of four such arbitrary moves a day. Conrail paid them without batting an eye....the first two were performed at the initial terminal...bonus out of the gate.
