A caboose is a car attached to the end of a train, usually used by conductors, engineers, brakemen and other train personnel rather than by passengers. Cabooses were common on 19th century trains to augment train braking when continuous brake system didn't exist (you'll often see them on trains in Old West movies), but fell out of use in the 20th century due to changes in the use of trains.
