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.
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.
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.
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.
Great collection of video shots. You really know how to cover all the good locations. A real throwback to earlier times. The cabooses, steam locomotive, the old passenger coaches etc. How much better can it get? Another piece of video history to be preserved. Job well done!
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.❤❤❤
Cabooses are cool! when we played music for Cass Railroad we'd often warm up in a caboose sitting still. saw Cass in there! man you cover some serious ground! :)
This was great I love cabooses. The only time I was able to get up close to one was in Dubois PA at the three train + caboose restaurant. I have been thinking about them ever since I saw the “Chartreuse Caboose” movie at a drive-in in Woodlawn Cincinnati a very long time ago. Thanks Jaw Tooth!
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.
Wow jaw tooth,I'm a little out of date,I discovered this video by chance,I love it!! Its off to see a caboose in front of the train,but for caboose fans its awesome,you always find great train action,! I'm enjoying this one,thanks jaw tooth!
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.
Awesome video, Brian, beautiful cabooses I am surprised how fast goes the first train, backward, through town Love the caboose with the solar panel on the roof at 1:43 I am pretty sure it belonged to the 'defunct' Montreal Maine and Atlantic RR, they used it in Quebec and Maine as a remote control
The yellow Chessie system caboose at the end looks like it endured an over speed coupling... Ground man: "That'll do Dave, that'll do... STOP!" BANG!!! Dave: "Did I do that!"
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.
Everybody likes to see a nice caboose now and then. Who doesn't like cabooses? He he. I am always ready to watch a nice caboose walking by. Er uh, that is, ahem... I mean rolling by! LOL! Cheers, Dan
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.
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?
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.
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. I, like countless others, thoroughly enjoy your videos. Here's praying that you and all of your friends and relatives are in good health, both physically and psychologically. P.S. All freight trains MUST HAVE A CABOOSE.
Former New York, New Haven and Hartford, Boston Division (East End) Massachusetts. Our Baltimore and Ohio destined cars went to the New York City car floats for the Pennsylvania or through Maybrook, New York for the Erie.
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.
Great compilation of cabooses that you put together.I'll bet that it was a lot of work editing this video.Those cabooses with the windows boarded up are a bit creepy.It's also odd watching the high speed trains with the caboose leading.Thanks for the cool video!
If you want great caboose action, come to Champaign, Illinois. They use former ICG cabeese frequently on trains to a plastic plant as well as cabeese in the yard there.
Jaw Tooth I can say that if you hang out for a full day at the yard, there are frequently different engines from different railroads. Amtrak is featured morning and nightly,a s well as a few IC engines thrown in some days. I’ve even seen a couple BCRAIL and SOO engines there.
If one of those occupied cabooses going faster than about 5 mph ever hit a truck are a crossing, the caboose occupants would be killed. I think we need a speed limit on those shoving trains with people on the rear end.

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.
You can say that again
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.
They still using it today in some locations.
I grew up when they still used cabooses and when I see a freight train go by without one it seems incomplete.
Trains had a caboose and people respected other's property. Didn't have all of that ridiculous spray paint all over the cars.
I agree.
Why didn't you get that Red tanker coming across the tracks 😞
@@vicipaulino8762 are awww
It seems incomplete? A train is incomplete without a caboose.
That is one strong caboose to pull all them cars plus 2 locomotives thru Lakeland 🤪
so many cabooses take the lead now a days, back in the day the locomotives used to lead the cabooses brought up the rear
The caboose is like a passenger car in a way but only for the train crew. It's great to see some of those ole cabooses still in service.
My child is about 2 and a half, and he loves to watch this video and shout "but wait, there's more!" Thanks for making him happy.
That is awesome! I am glad that he likes my videos. Thanks for your support
Love cabooses,miss them all.
They gave the freight as much character as the loco.
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 old little caboose could be turned into a tiny home instead of being scrapped.

13:09, oh what a shiny shiny new caboose!!!!!
I loved that shiny blue loco with matching caboose, and the steam engine was great,loved the horn sound too!! Great video jaw tooth
Cabooses are cool! when we played music for Cass Railroad we'd often warm up in a caboose sitting still. saw Cass in there! man you cover some serious ground! :)

Now that is what I call a true locomotive!!!!!
Yep thats Norfolk and Western 611
That’s a real good steam engine to go see.

Hello from Kirkwood, Mo. My lovely wife has a caboose....mighty fine and I am the conductor!!!
Thanks again. After Church this morning we tune into Jaw Tooth videos. Thanks for doing such a good job again!

The best thing about riding in a caboose is sittin up in the gondola. I like the shot of Ronks PA .
I miss the caboose. Thanks JT.
I wish I could have met you when you were in Noblesville. That is approximately 25 minutes from my home.
I think that the last caboose is broken either that or Millineum force leaned up against that coupler...lol
Both
You made my 2 year olds day! All he asks to watch is cabooses. Thank you for your fun videos!
Happy to hear that!
@@JawTooth Yeah but at 5:32 WHY IS THAT ONE ACTUALLY MOVING THE TRAIN!?!?!?!
Wow jaw tooth,I'm a little out of date,I discovered this video by chance,I love it!! Its off to see a caboose in front of the train,but for caboose fans its awesome,you always find great train action,! I'm enjoying this one,thanks jaw tooth!

Great collection of caboose, thank you!
Glad you like them!
@@JawTooth let's just say I have a healthy collection of HO scale caboose in a variety of road names!
Love the cabooses! ❤
Awesome video for sure. I'd have laughed to see you riding on the Kelso, Indiana train. Looked the the engineer was very serious about his job.
I rode on it several times. I never did put together a proper video of it though.

These caboose looks so cool!
Caboose heaven for sure!
I never did like a train backing up solely for safety reasons
That black caboose with the black engine looked slick.
All those noises and those cabooses 😍
Hats off to you sir for sharing this
Sweet compilation, Jaw Tooth!
Hey Jawtooth, that was an awesome post.

Thank you for this. ✌✌✌
always good videos. good job j.t.
Wyoming OH,,, caboose pulling & hopper car pushing 🤣👍😉
I don't know if they still use that caboose since I made this video. I have looked for it and haven't seen it in a few years
12:50 Wow that train is clean.
12:19 that CSX unit sure did a nice little bounce 😄
Very interesting video! Looked like you had some old Erie RR Stillwell commuter coaches at 17:30 (if I'm not mistaken). Good job!
6:35 I remember that! That’s me!
Great to see all those cabooses! Clearly, some of them still serve a purpose. Wonder if more new ones are being built to serve this purpose.
I remember when Burlington Northern purchased Rock Island railroad. Ship it on the Rock. lol
👍Loved this video thanks
Well, my caboose has seen better days too, but I'm 55.
@Personal info ikr
@Personal info Unfortunately cabooses are a thing of the past.
Cool to see those special trains. :)
Wow! Great video my friend! 👌🙂Like! 👍👍👍🙂
I like train videos on RUclips jawtooth❤
Love those cabooses
Awesome train 🚂 my friend!! Dropped a like
Another fantastic video. Thanks JT
What would happen if they blew the horn at a no train horn zone?
Think u jaw tooth love watching it
The Nickel Plate RR track sounds like it needs some work...
Wow a train with a caboose and a slug
Luv the cabooses !

I thot it was cabeese when there's more than one. (just pullin your knuckle coupler. LOL)
It technically is NOT cabeese, but you know, goose-geese, so it makes sense with caboose-cabeese.
Hack was the term used in my area.

I like the small nickel plate train
When I worked for the CNW, they were called ‘way cars’.
What a beautiful video, thanks!
Nice collection. Thanks.

Somewhere out West there is a motel that uses retired cabin cars as accomodations.
