AKRON & BARBERTON BELT	... #	1	...	REAR FLUSH CUPOLA

A railway caboose supplied protection to get a-train staff by the end of a goods train. The team was needed for changing obligations also to maintain a look out for damage to gear and freight, weight changing, or over-heating axles called warm containers. Layouts were initially altered container vehicles or flatcars taking a cottage, but afterwards became specific train cars, with predictions above or to the face of the teach auto therefore the team can watch the teach from protection. The railway caboose additionally functioned as the conductor's workplace on long roads, including lodging and cooking service. Railway cabooses were applied to each cargo train until the 80s, when security regulations demanding the existence of cabooses and complete teams were slacked. Developments in tracking and security technologies, including line-side sensors and blinking rear end products as well as railway organizations' desire to spend less and cut costs by reducing staff size led to phasing-out the railway caboose.
