Trains with Cabooses
At one time, cabooses could be seen on just about every train in North America. Today, their use is very restricted, but they can still be seen on heritage railways and even in regular freight service as what the railroads call "shoving platforms". In this video, we will take a look at several different scenes of the caboose in use that I have filmed over the last decade. Locations include several different railroads in the west, midwest, and eastern US as well as Canada.

Indeed! Some day, I'd like to make a video about that rail line. A shame it's gone now.
That 2nd clip, that’s the local going from Canyon Country to Newhall! Used to watch them every Saturday morning as a young kid!!! That’s awesome
love that east side catch in the beginning!

I shed a few tears of joy when those old steam engines were doing their thing 👍and that last Caboose is on Marine View Drive in Everett Wa. I’ve seen it lots of times and it never goes anywhere!
I love cabooses!

Amazing video!! Gotta love seeing that caboose at the end, really adds some character to those trains that have them on the consist because it makes a nice theme from what it was back then.
Great video of the cabooses!

I honestly wish many railroads would still use cabooses, they are cool!
II do miss seeing the little Eastside Rail run through Woodinville there - the tracks were pulled up not too long ago. Thanks for the vid sir.
I'd love to see all railroads bring back the caboose. That SP steamer in the fog & mist is priceless. Cheers from eastern TN
Nice catches of trains with cabooses!

These are the best ambient noise, I fill the house with them while I'm working and sometimes play music alongside. Just watched the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad line come in and out in Peninsula, Ohio last weekend and it got me hooked on train sounds again. Thought I would leave a comment to tell you how much I appreciate your recordings and anyone like you who makes the same kind of recordings.
Another great one Mike! It’s cool seeing cabooses still being used on freight lines to this day!
BEST "NEW" KZread VIDEO OF YOURS IN THE UNIVERSE, +CoasterFan2105 ! I LOVE YOU ! !
Wow Great Captures
GREAT JOB, +CoasterFan2105, WE LOVE YOU ! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK ! !
I used to watch all off your Videos when i was Younger! So glad you still upload
Cabooses need to make a comeback
Good morning, a fantastic video from many railway companies, whether standard gauge or narrow gauge, the magnificent cabooses are simply beautiful. The landscapes through which the trains travel are also very beautiful. Of course, the steam trains are particularly special for me. Thank you for the video and best wishes from Germany. Wolfgang
NEVER GIVE UP, +CoasterFan2105 !
HAPPY FRIDAY, +CoasterFan2105 ! HAPPY FRIDAY ! !
Wonderful captures and locations! 👍
Love this video, especially for the cabooses! You don’t really see them anymore…
Mainly I see them used for switching platforms now. Wish all trains still had them. Such an icon of the American Railroad.
I think its nice that railroads, aside from scenic ones, still use cabooses :)
Very nice. Used to love seeing cabooses. It also meant the end of the train - but trains weren't so long in those day. When counting cars - 100 plus was a looong train. LOL
Something with the train and at the end of it with a caboose just feel so old and classic and normal
cool

CERTIFIED FRESH VANILLA CAKES FOR VERY VERY EXCELLENT 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
If you want to see cabooses, I recommend going to short line railroads! They will be using them as shoving platforms, and you can maybe see a crew Member, example: this video! Yay
I see a lot of trains with Shoving platforms :p Nice video!
Nice SAAHC from the switcher!
Surprised SRY Rail Link didn't make the list! We use cabooses for one final train out here, mostly as a shoving platform/lunchroom.
Cass Scenic RR in WV...Climax on the Greenbrier.
Good job on making videos of the coobse I sure do miss the coobes not the same watching trains and no coobes so good excellent 👌👍 work keep it up. Along with the Amtrak trains
Now that I think of it I don't think I see cabooses on trains that much anymore.

They stopped using them in the late 80s/early 90s. they get very minimal use today
Quite a variety. Thanks for posting!!
Nice Catches with Cabooses
Sweet video
Nice vid. You should come to sd in the fall new CEMs 👀
You should make a video on the CNF oil trains on the Bellingham Subdivision. I bet that would be a good watch.
Simply Wow! Outstanding!
Your almost there to 1 million subscribers
So close to 1 Million Subscribers!
0:45 What line is this? It looks like somewhere in California. 4:11 9:15 What a magnificent horn. 14:05 Beautifully captured. Thanks Mike for another great video!
I saw what I think was a Burlington Northern caboose at the end aof a regular sized bnsf freight train.
Amazing Catch. 👍🏽
Little Red Caboose behind the train
やっぱりアメリカの機関車は形がかっこいいですね‼︎ いつか自分の目で見てみたい!
Great job on this one
If Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad #5 gets restored plz make a video on it like u did for Cumbres and Tolted 463 plz!
Maybe somebody here knows why the signals are still active (a few months ago) through Clearview and several other crossings. Power to the box (could hear buzzing). All of this while they were tearing out the tracks through Woodinville.
Nice capture
I saw videos you made about the f59phi in 2024. but how did you catch those this year? I thought. The f59phi was retired.
Definitely a nice variety of cabooses across the country. I also have an idea. Since your channel is almost to 1 million subscribers, I was wondering if you could make a philanthropy channel and take the ad revenue generated from it and put the money towards rail preservation projects including historic locomotives and rolling stock.
Really enjoyed this video! But I have to say, I like Steam engines the best! Great job Mike!! ❤️
And ¿why in a train had 2 cabooses insted of 1?
And ¿why one train had a caboose like first car?
Yeah, Back in The Days Larges Freight Trains have Cabooses.
I feel like you dint really see an old caboose anymore. Brake vans aren't really a thing in the uk either bar heritage freight hauls.
Hey Mike today is 31 of may the last day of school bell and I'm ready for a summer holiday but in 27 of may i got a bit sick and i hope i feel better
do they still made cobooses?
geeeeee golly---this is swell!

I don’t understand what’s the point about cabooses I understand they give people but I don’t understand what’s the point
I’m not much of a fan of cabooses I am sorry
