Product Description
For more than a century, the caboose was an integral feature of the American freight train. That rich history comes to life in this colorful photohistory celebrating cabooses of every style, vintage and color. While alluding to the long history and folklore associated with the caboose before its demise in the late 20th century, the book details the caboose's 19th century evolution, designs and cabooses used by railroads across the country. Evocative period photography in color and black and white is complemented by a selection of contemporary advertisements and sidebars detailing fascinating facets of caboose history, like the lives of railroad crews who lived and worked on them.
