We stopped using cabooses three years after I hired on in 1989.

There's some still around. But, they are used only on work trains like ballast trains or rail trains for distribution.

That must have been a long time ago. We're not allowed passengers at all. It's a liability thing.

I work for CP not CN and my terminal is Winnipeg. I'm in the East pool on the Keewatin sub. My run is Winnipeg to Kenora, Ontario and back.

I know running trades guys that worked for them. Almost as much of a joke as a railway as Ontario Northland.
