Description
Railroad Short Name: ATSF
The caboose had many purposes: it sheltered the conductor, brakeman, and flagman from the elements; gave the conductor space for his paperwork; had bunks for rest and a stove for cooking. The cupola was the place to monitor the train while en route, watching for any problems that may occur between terminals. The cupola usually had seats in both directions, so no matter which way the caboose was pointed, the trainman could keep a vigilant watch.
