When I was in the Army in the early 90’s we rode a caboose from Ft Carson to Ft Hood. It took 5 days, it was in August and it was hot.

Red is a good color for the back of a train the color as most know means Stop.. Easy to see unless you are color blind. Intentions for safety to be very noticeable by other traffic from a long distance. Great video

Wow!! I grew up less than a mile from the Henry Ford Museum and worked weddings at Lovett Hall too. What a flashback seeing it after all these years.

FREDs "Flashing Rear End Device", defect detectors, & other technology the railroads have nowadays all replaced the cabooses.

I always loved this piece of rolling stock on the train! I wanted one for my very own.

One that could have been more clear: the caboose was the conductor's office where the paperwork was done

I always thought that the purpose of it was for the locomotive engineer to rest in it if he operate the train for a long road .Though there was a small kitchen ,toilet and such hahaha

So back before handheld radios what did the caboose crew do if they spotted a hotbox? Would they have a way of communicating with the engine to stop and fix the problem or wait til the next stop?

Some cabooses might have been painted red for reasons similar to why the tail lights on your car are red. So you can be more easily seen by the guy following you.

Not far off. Red was a required color to be displayed for end of train for many railroads, either by lantern, flag, or the caboose itself.

a train just doesn't look right without a caboose 😉

@samanli-tw3id 3 жыл бұрын

A train needs two things to look right: A steam locomotive and a caboose.

Thank you. Caboose in Oneonta, NY park. Very old four wheeler. In the 1883, a group of men met in it, founding The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen. The first real union, predecessor of the current United Transportation Union. Open to the public occasionally.

Another tourist railroad that uses a caboose is the Huckleberry Railroad in Flint, MI, also I set my model railroad in the modern day, and I made my railroad never retired any of its cabooses, partly because I made it a tourist railroad

I've never realized the reference to a woman's butt as a caboose, until today.

as a retired conductor for 43 years I laugh at that Caboose they didn't look like that inside they were all dirty greasy sometimes the seats were ripped sometimes a place where you would sleep if you had a sleepover was ripped and tear all you had was a bunch of Knuckles drawbars while you didn't really have drive-bys they were too heavy but you had air hoses and stuff like that and I started laughing when I seen that one all cleaned and all done up give me a break

My daughter asked, "What does the yellow wheel, do?"

@carultch 2 жыл бұрын

On traditional cabooses, it is for operating brakes. On this modern replica, it probably has no function, as the brakes that the locomotive operator controls are probably sufficient for the entire train.

@arpitkeshri378 3 ай бұрын

Yellow wheel is Hand Brake. Train Guard or Conductor apply hand brake when engine detached from load and train is going to be stable for long time. If hand brakes wouldn't apply, the train can roll down and derail. Every wagons has this type of wheel in it. Myself Train Manager/Guard in Indian Railways 2018 batch.
