Wonder if they still use it. Here in Aus they use 'Shunt Floats" either a wagon with a proper shunters platform or a dedicated wagon with a platform on it so the crew does not have to hang off the cars for when its too far to walk.

Has anyone ever saw a green caboose before? Here where I'm from in Columbus,Ga, back in the early 80s when I was a young kid, we were watching a train and at the end was a green caboose. That's the only time I've ever saw one. Never forget about it.

Burlington Northern Railroad (BN) used green cabooses. That would be the largest railroad to likely use them. THere are probably others, but that was the most likely source.

Columbus, Georgia was home to the Central of Georgia under the Southern Railway and then NS. The Green caboose you likely saw was a Penn Central caboose as the CofG occasionally ran them on the end of their trains. It depended on where the freight originated from and how it was interchanged. I have heard of other accounts of Penn Central cabooses on CofG manifest freights in the 1970s.

Those are trash containers, for transloading at Rawsonville. That is just west of the crossing they were shoving across with the caboose.

Being trash containers, and hauling garbage, appropriate that they don't give a rat's butt how they look, and would be good if they were rough with the trash containers as much as they could get away with without spilling the garbage from them. Since the containers are hauling garbage, they don't deserve handling with respect beyond what's needed for obvious safety, and deserve to get the crap utterly beat out of them in daily handling, being refuse containers.

Look it's not a Dying Breed unless we make it that I mean when they first started coming out with the Fred's I figured why not just put them on the Caboose and not take the Caboose off at all that's what my question was even as a little kid why not put the end of Lights On The Caboose itself and have someone back there just to be back there I mean they took a molehill and made it the biggest mountain for no reason I'm taking the Caboose off the tracks was making a mountain out of a molehill

There's just not much of a point in them anymore. No need to watch for problems on the rear of the train anymore. Hotboxes aren't a problem since the axels where swapped from journals to roller bearings. You have hot checkers to tell any other problems and the conductor can do his paperwork etc from the cab. Technology killed the caboose not corporate America. With this positive train control stuff being put in, it will eventually eliminate the conductors job.
