Bobber Caboose

Not seen on the mainline, the Bobber gained its name from its short length (i.e. a "bobtailed caboose"). Generally associated with shortlines, the Class 1 railroads used the four-wheeled caboose for work train and transfer service. The caboose in general gained some interesting nicknames... hack, crummy, buggy and even widow maker.
