You might know them as brake vans (according to wiki).

When I was a kid we always waved to the train driver and the caboose guy. The drivers will, most often, still wave back.

I'd love to convert an old caboose into a guest room or something.
My friend's father did that way back in the 60s or 70s, in the Poconos. Had the caboose moved there and set on a length of track. My friend's brother lives there now.

There was not much privacy.
