Can anyone provide a brief history of when cabooses started to disappear and why? I've heard some different reasons over the years, but I don't know if any of them are true. <br /> <br />It's a bit weird -- I remember when I was growing it always seemed that typically all trains had an engine, a bunch of cars and a caboose. Now, with my kids growing up, all the trains we see everyday don't have a caboose anymore. For them, if they ever saw a train with one it would be an oddity. Interesting how time changes things.
