Title: Railroad Caboose, The - It's 100 Year History, Legend & Lore
Seller ID: GW117
Everyone is familiar with the railroad caboose, the home of the conductor and train crew who used to ride on the end of a freight train. It was a mobile office, a lookout post. It was a van on the Canadian National, and a cabin car on the New York Central, a buggy on the Boston & Maine - but whatever name, it remains symbolic of the railroad scene and the way it was. This is a complete story of the caboose from the earliest days to it being replaced by an electronic gadget. The author worked as a conductor on the former Southern Pacific at Tucson, Arizona. 165 illustrations. Retail $29.95.
