AKRON & BARBERTON BELT	... #	82101	...	REAR FLUSH CUPOLA

A railway caboose supplied refuge to get a-train staff by the end of a cargo train. The team was demanded for changing responsibilities and also to maintain a look out for damage to gear and freight, weight changing, or over-heating axles called warm bins. Layouts were initially altered container vehicles or flatcars taking a cottage, but afterwards became specific train cars, with forecasts above or to the face of the teach auto therefore the team can watch the teach from refuge. The railway caboose additionally functioned as the conductor's workplace on long roads, including lodgings 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 observation and security technologies, for example line-side sensors and blinking rear end products as well as railway organizations' desire to save money and cut costs by reducing team size led to phasing-out the railway caboose.
