#READER RAILROAD 1702 CAB FULL#
Cabooses were used on every freight train until the 1980s, when safety laws requiring the presence of cabooses and full crews were relaxed.Denver Public Library Images of D&RGW M-64 Class Steam Engines These functioned in a similar role to cabooses, while also providing additional braking systems for trains not fitted with a continuous braking system, and keeping chain couplings taut. A similar railroad car design, the brake van, was used on British and Commonwealth railways. The car also served as the conductor's office, and on long routes, included accommodation and cooking facilities. Designs were originally modified box cars or flatbed cars carrying a cabin, but later became specialised vehicles, with projections above or to the sides of the car so crew could observe the train from shelter.
Cabooses provided shelter for crew at the end of a train, who were required for switching and shunting, and to keep a lookout for load shifting, damage to equipment and cargo, or overheating axles. Caboose A caboose is a manned North American rail transport vehicle coupled at the end of a freight train.
