With the help of nearly 300 marvelous modern and historical images depicting cabooses of all colors, this collection traces the development of this iconic, bygone rolling stock from the nineteenth century to their almost total demise by the mid-1990s.

"Fantastic small sized book" according to bbrockRailFan. Fantastic small sized book. If you love information and pictures in a type style order, here is a book for you. Its a nice stout little book packed with great looking pictures of cabooses. I am happy to have this book about the subject matter. The price is a great bargain. Allot of books on trains are expensive and this is a nice relief.. JonE said Five Stars. Awesome book. Great pictures. The book is display quality. If you like trains, you will enjoy this book.. I Do Not Recommend This Book Mojave Narrows This book in e-book format is not impressive. The pictures are small and of poor quality, and it appears that the author threw a bunch of random caboose pictures together and captioned them. Would not and do not recommend this book.
