The caboose may not be a part of most modern railroad operations, but it served an important role for most of railroading history. It was not only a place for the crew to work, but also a place to eat sleep and enjoy off time. Many railroads assigned each crew their own caboose so they could make more "their own". The cupola caboose was popular with many railroads as it offered an elevated working position for better observation of the train.
