Don't you mean "Cabin Caren"? I knew 2 people that worked for Union Pacific and NYC. One a neighbor and one my brother in law. Both called them caboose's. Both were conductors. Go figure. When a railroad man calls them a caboose, something must be right. Then you have those that enjoy being technical or refer to slangs names and push their agendas.

If you go by the phonetics in the Little Red Caboose song, then the singular is caboosee, and therfore the plural is caboosees. Alfred

It soitenly was a silly feud but lots of fun, and it was about cabeeses which is what this thread is about, so I think it was OK. To help atone for my silliness I’m posting a photo of one of my favorite cabeeses.

One thing about collecting cabooses must of them are cheap, but there are some variations that can be very expensive.

That is the correct terminology, but only for the Standard Railroad of the World. (Just as God intended!)
Hmm. Now why do I think this (below) is about to erupt?

Cabooses are definitely habit forming when it comes to collecting! A German (DB) caboose, or the equivalent of one…  Tom
