The Caboose

Sun, May 17, 1998
A caboose followed at the end of every freight train, and its design was improved to ensure better conditions, visibility and security for the conductor and brakeman. Their bright colors (red, yellow...) helped them to stay on the memory of the kids that saw them pass, or eventually stop for the conductor to perform some community service when he received a radio message for help.

The Circus Train
Circus spectacles were very popular, and had to move from town to town during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, involving heavy logistics of people, animals, and equipment. Specialized circus trains fulfilled that particular need, as seen during a day in the life of a traveling show.
