PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The Bobber Caboose is based upon a four-wheel wooden caboose of the mid-1800’s
to early 1900’s era. Since their inception, cabooses have become ‘mythic’
in railroad nostalgia. Positioned at the end of a train, cabooses have served
as living quarters for the train crew as well as an observation point. On
trains that were transporting livestock, a special caboose called a "drover’s
caboose" was added to the train to tend to the well-being of the animals
in transit. Also known as "cabins", "hacks", and "crummies."
