Description
This caboose is becoming a guest house in Kansas. Hope I get to stay there!
The caboose was the last car on a freight train, often having kitchen and sleeping facilities for the train crew, and used as a vantage point for spotting problems on the train, such as smoking brakes or the separation of cars. The introduction of electronic sensors has made the caboose unnecessary. In classic railroad trains, the box-like structure above the caboose, the cupola, was also called the crow's nest.
