Book reviews
The Burling- ton Waycar Drawing Book, by Randall R. Danniel,
pub-
lished by Mile Post 206 Pub-
lishing, Burlington,

Until the International Car Compa-
ny’s “extended vision” caboose gained wide acceptance by U.S. railroads in the 1960’s, most caboose designs were “rail- road-specific” even if they were built by Pullman, ACF, Thrall, International or another car builder. Not only that, most railroads with large shops often built their own. That was “the railroad way,” had been for over a century, and it took a long time for it to change. Conse- quently, and tempered by such practi- cal matters as clearances, crew needs, etc., most railroads had their own idea of what a caboose should look like.
