For over one hundred years the immediately recognisable caboose trailed freight trains across the United States. Caboose is a full colour gallery showing cabooses of all styles, vintages, and colours. The book concentrates on the development of, uses of, and ultimate demise of the caboose. Text covers exterior design as well as interior decoration, with some discussion of the life of the railroad crews who lived and worked in cabooses. Finally, the book looks at cabooses in use after their lives on the track. 80 colour illustrations. Paperback. 96pp |
