Description
Easily the most recognizable and popular rail car of them all, the little red caboose is as much a part of our folklore as it is railroading. The wood "crummies" of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries endured for decades. Even after steel cabooses came along, hundreds of these older cars stayed in service on railroads large and small. "Nonrevenue" cars may not have been a high priority for replacement by management, but their care and upkeep was a matter of both pride and comfort for the crews who used them. We're sure you'll take pride too in having one of these "woodside" cabooses bringing up the markers on your railroad. Cars feature detailed illuminated interiors and marker lamps, cupola brakeman figure, die-cast trucks and operating couplers.
