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.

    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.

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

    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.
