Caboose, Long Time Symbol
if Railroads, Goes Modern
LINCOLN, NEB.—Casey Jones
would wonder what they've done
to the old caboose.
* Symbol of railroading for
years, it is being modernized,
tilled with expensive electrical
equipment and promoted out of
the category of a train-crew flop
house.
It started when engine-to-ca
boose communications were in
stalled on the Burlington's 22
mile stretch between Denver and
McCook, Neb. Cost of the new
electrically equipped cabooses
was too prohibitive to maintain
the old practice of changing them
at every division point.
Traditionally, cabooses stayed
with the crews to provide eating
and sleeping facilities. Now. the
crew leaves the caboose and is
met by a sleek station wagon,
which whisks the boys to a fancy
dormitory. The caboose goes all
the *zay through with the engine,
successive new crews boarding
at each division point
