PROTOTYPE INFO:
Perhaps one of the most recognizable icons of American
railroading, the caboose completed the train. Cabooses
provided shelter for the rear end crew. From the cupola
or bay windows, the crew could keep a lookout for shifting
loads, damaged equipment, and overheating axles, this was
long required for switching and shunting. As rail cars became
larger in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was a real
need for cabooses to have greater visibility for the crew. In
the extended-vision or wide-vision caboose, the sides of the
cupola project beyond the side of the car body. This model
was introduced by the International Car Company and saw
service on most U.S. railroads. The expanded cupola allowed
the crew to see past the top of the taller cars that began to
appear after World War II, and also increased the roominess
of the cupola area.
