Santa Fe Caboose No. 1314 

Southern California Chapter
Railway and Locomotive Historical Society

The Santa Fe caboose is typical of the cars used on freight trains during the 1920-1930 era.  The caboose was a home away from home for the train crew.  It contains bunks, tables, stove, ice chest and toilet facilities and a desk where the freight conductor handled his paper work.  The cupola afforded the brake man a clear view of the train ahead.  No. 1314 was built by ACF in 1923 and was retired in 1955.
