This 1929 Canadian National Railways caboose was moved from Trenton in 1996. In operation it housed the rear end brakemen who sat in the "cupola" where he could spot any trouble with the rolling stock such as smoking wheel bearings, uneven loads or swaying cars. He could then signal the engineer and prevent further disaster. The reconditioned caboose now serves as an information centre at the museum.
