PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The Long Steel Caboose is based upon an Offset Cupola Steel Caboose of the
1930'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."
