when did they stop using cabooses on trains
Caboose Cabooses were used on every freight train until the 1980s, when safety laws requiring the presence of cabooses and full crews were relaxed.

Nowadays, they are generally only used on rail maintenance or hazardous materials trains, or on heritage and tourist railroads.
