Prototype Background
The streamlined caboose with an offset cupola was introduced by the Wabash Railroad in the early 1950s. The cupola is a small windowed projection on the roof where crew members sat in elevated seats to watch the train while it was moving. The caboose also gave the crew a sheltered workspace at the rear of the train, and crew members could step out to handle switching or to protect the rear of the train when it was stopped.
