The Railroad Caboose. For more than a century the railroad caboose was a fixture on the end of freight trains. The real purpose of the caboose was to provide a sheltered vantage point from which trainmen could watch the cars ahead, sleep, cook and eat their meals, and do their paperwork. It served as the working headquarters of the freight conductor and his rear brakeman.
Trains no longer have cabooses because in the 1980s they developed a device called EOT commonly known as End of Train device it monitors brake pressure and is monitored in the cab by the engineer in the event of an emergency the engineer throws a switch and applies the brakes on the train.he crew in the caboose kept an eye on the train in front of them to watch for hot-boxes (over-heated axle bearings) and other problems. Now there are trackside hotbox and dragging equipment detectors (automatic), and trains use roller bearings as opposed to the old friction bearings.
