They actually will allow you to ride aboard the caboose for a bit extra if it's not chartered, after traveling in it, there's nothing else like it, unless of course there's another caboose, but still, great ride made better
Basically what I mean is the caboose has special controls allowing the engineer to operate the locomotive from the other end of the train. Over in Britain some railways like the great Western and LBSC used similar concepts for some branch line services
In the same spot this was taken at rn waiting for the caboose to show up.

looks like the Winnipesaukee has an auto train
Suprisingly this is a normal excursion. The caboose is used when a runaround isn’t doable.

@@katerinakittycat3849 having actually ridden the caboose, it only has controls for the bell, horn, lights, ditchights, and emergency brakes.
The horn most likely came off of 1186.
this is probably the first video I've seen of an auto caboose. I wonder why they did that and how they did it
Katerina Kittycat they threw some ditch lights, a bell, and a fouled m3 on it. Not that complicated, but still useful as hell.
