    question about caboose

    I am surprised you do not have an answer by now. Beware, my opinion is very unfounded. As asked the other night at the train club, it seem that when the railroads changed to running multiple diesel engines, they had extra room in the added cabs for the crew. Then removed the walkways from the...
