Outside of MOW trains, cabeese are only used these days when there is train such as a local freight or a coal run in the Appalachian Mtns. that makes lots backup moves thereby saving the conductor lots of walking from the front of the train. Additionally, the caboose protects the end of a reversing train more effectively at grade crossings than does a FRED or EOT.
