Here in Saskatchewan CN stopped using cabooses before CP. My parents have told me that when I was about 3 we were in the car and I saw a CN train without a caboose and got upset and cried. They had to say they were going to pick up the caboose which was on a siding behind some trees. Thankfully CP (which goes through my hometown) didn't stop using cabooses until later. I remember in the final days of CP cabooses it was fairly common to see a train several cabooses. I think the most I ever saw was 6. I can recall an accident that happened sometime in the 90's in Regina where a CN freight with a caboose backed into the rear end of another train. The caboose derailed as did the last car on the other train, but directly behind it were some tank cars with hazardous chemicals. If it wasn't for the caboose the tank car could have been damaged and leaked. Being a caboose fan I always loved that story.
