Union Pacific Caboose #25766
The Brain of the Train
The caboose was like an office for the conductor and the crew. In the caboose, the conductor kept a manifest for each railcar. The manifest listed what the car was carrying, where it was coming from, and where it needed to go. Crews worked, cooked, and slept in the caboose for days at a time.
This CA1 class caboose was one of the last Union Pacific wooden cabooses. All future ones were made of steel.
