A brakeman's caboose is a small train car that was historically attached to the end of a freight train. It served as the work area for the brakeman, a crew member responsible for controlling the train's speed and braking. The caboose provided space for the brakeman to monitor the train's condition, signal to the engineer, and perform other safety tasks. It typically included small windows, a stove for warmth, and sometimes a desk or seating area. While cabooses are now less common due to modern braking systems, they were once essential for train safety and communication.
