Understanding Caboose Types and Railroad Operations

Traditional bobber cabooses, with their compact four-wheel design and centered cupola, served narrow-gauge and short-line railroads where tight curves and light-duty track required smaller, lighter equipment. These charming cabooses evoke the romance of mountain railroading and industrial switching operations. Wide-vision cabooses represent the modern evolution of caboose design, featuring extended side windows that provided train crews with improved visibility along the length of their trains. This design became standard on major Class I railroads during the diesel era and remained in service until the widespread adoption of end-of-train devices in the late twentieth century.
