Some railroads did permit heavy steam power to push behind the caboose, though I wonder if anyone was foolish enough to actually ride in a wood caboose with a 2-8-8-2 hammering at the rear. In the diesel era, most railroads restricted the use of pushers behind cabooses, even though they were all-steel by that point -- D&RGW allowed two GP40s or one SD40T-2 or SD45 behind a caboose; anything more had to be cut in ahead of the caboose, or the excess units isolated. <br /> <br />I can't imagine that a cab-forward rode very well. Must have been pretty bouncy.
