What is The Railroad Caboose: Its 100 Year History, Legend, and Lore about?
Nearly everyone is familiar with the railroad caboose. Formally, it's the punctuation mark that concludes every freight train — a mobile office for the crew, a lookout post. It is a <i>van</i> on the Canadian National, a <i>cabin car</i> on the Pennsylvania, a <i>buggy</i> on the Boston & Maine; but by whatever name, it remains symbolic of the railroad scene. <p><i>The Railroad Caboose</i> is the most distinctive, the most comprehensive volume ever built around a piece of railroad rolling stock. Here's the biggest freight-trainload of railroadiana, legend and lore, ever hauled between hard covers. A century of tradition is served up in easy-to-read style with a matchless picture gallery.</p>
