Models

these are the bc rail m930 cabooses Squamish built.

theese cabooses were built by pge at squamish shops in 1968 the first caboose was a sucsesful design so the railway built 14 more in the span of 2 years in 1973 bcr built 10 more until 1975 thay were also built at squamish shops the cabooses are numberd from 1851 to 1884, bc rail started phaseing them out in 1995 :(

Cabooses were used for the conductor and his crew on the tail end of every freight train until May 1993. After May 1993 BC Rail used train end devices on their through freight trains south of Prince George. Cabooses were still used north of P.G. until the end. Last caboose trains were the Takla Loggers and the Fort St. John to Fort Nelson turn. Some Cabooses did not survive, being scrapped after accidents or sold to private individuals, however some are still in service today, CN uses one as a crew transporter.
