In these parts, the only daily train runs from a yard to a steel mill about six miles. Because of the way the tracks are laid at the steel mill, they can't run around an entire train. Or something like that. Whatever the reason is, they have to back the train from the yard to the mill the entire way. In this case, the caboose is on the front end of the train 50% of the time with a guy standing there on the platform making sure they didn't run into anything. There's only one grade crossing in that six miles (lots of bridges), so I assume its mainlly to see if they ran into another train.
