TAIL END CAR... it always comes in last

AFTER an eternity of always coming
in last you'd think a caboose would
develop a crushing inferiority complex.

It hasn't, though, and for good reas-
ons. Cabooses, as a class, have always
been cocky little cars that seem to
know that bringing up the rear is as
important as any other job. Then, too,
they have always enjoyed the affection
and curiosity of the public. Poems,
books, and songs by the score have
praised the little red cabooses.

P&N cabooses are certainly no ex-
ception. They are just as red and cocky-
looking as those of the Pennsy, the
Santa Fe, or the New York Central.

HOTBOXES can be spotted by Conductor D. M.
Campbell from his perch in the caboose's cupola.
