   Lenny, that is nice to see an active caboose in 2007.  Does CP still use manned cabooses?  Here in Texas, the last manned revenue caboose that I saw in service was an SP bay window in Dallas in 1995.  Since then, I have seen BNSF shoving platforms in Fort Worth area.  A "shoving platform" caboose with windows and doors plated over is sad to see in my opinion.

A caboose is no longer used on the local job in the photo.

From what I remember and from my photos, they do not.

This would be considered a B Unit.  A very early application of the concept.
