I'm 17, and I remember back when I was little - if I had to guess, maybe up until the late 80s - cabooses were a common sight at the end of Soo Line freight trains (Soo had trackage rights over the C&NW New Line cutoff through town). As far as I can remember it wasn't until about just before kindergarten that the caboose seems to have disappeared. The last time I've ever seen a caboose on a road job was fourth grade - it appeared unoccupied and carried an EOTD, and it was indeed an oddity, having not seen a caboose on the end of a road job in some five years! <br /> <br />However, the caboose is not dead where I live - two to four UP drills come through town each day, all of them with a caboose on the end (I think because the runs usually involve shoving the cars over long distances and several grade crossings...) <br /> <br />Does anyone know when the last road job was run with a caboose in the US?
