| Within these sections, individual chapters list locomotives, freight and maintenance-of-way cars, passenger cars, cabooses, and items. |
| Cabooses are another fast disappearing symbol of the railways, those that remain are a gaunt remnant of the former glory of a bygone era. |
| Pooled cabooses stayed with a train to final destination and the crew slept in a bunkhouse like the engine crews had always done. |
| In addition, the railroad car inventory includes more than 200 special-purpose units, such as depressed center cars and cabooses. |
| In more recent years pooled cabooses for mainline trains meant only assigned local and branchline train crews kept their own van. |
| Alternative accommodation can be found in structures converted from their initial purposes such as forts, lighthouses, windmills and cabooses. |
