<p>Probably doing some long reverse-moves that necessitate the conductor riding on the back-porch for visibility. Cabooses are still used on locals in quite number of places. I've seen them on the BNSF Hinckley Sub's local between Northtown Yard and Hinckley, operating in/around Hastings on the old MILW (now CP/SOO) - lots of places.</p><p>The BNSF also routinely uses a caboose (which at last report still had its' windows uncovered) on its daily Osseo job that heads-up the former GN's Monticello line. Sometimes they leave it stored on a spur track over by the Caterpillar plant in Brooklyn Park.</p>
