Our Cabooses

Waterloo Central Railway Vans (Cabooses)


Cabooses, or vans as they’re known in most of Canada, were required on the rear of most freight trains until the 1990s. They provided crew accommodation, as well as a place to observe the train for defects or irregularities en route, and to have crew members in place to protect the rear of the train while stopped.
