Train Caboose

This is a train caboose that I built to use with my new locomotive. It has working lights, brakes, a radio, a track switch system, a weather warning system, a map display, 4 beds, and enough personal equipment to support a fairly small crew. This car is intended to be placed at the back of a train and can serve as living quarters for the crew of the train. They aren't very common anymore but a few of them are still around. I didn't get to actually work on one, but I was inside of it when it came to the factory I worked at to be repaired.

The front of the caboose has a brake lever and an instrument panel to activate external controls. The external control switch allows the train brakes to be controlled remotely from the leading locomotive. The reversed vehicle toggle doesn't do much on this vehicle but if you spawn it in a way that the panels are on the back end, the switch can be used for it's intended purpose. It allows power number data to be transmitted through the car and the reversed vehicle switch indicates which direction the signal is coming from.

The connectors use the following composite channels:

Numbers:
- 1. Throttle
- 2. Reverser
- 3. Independent Brake
- 4. Train Brake
