While looking for cabooses to match up with my steamers I came across some things I'm in the dark about and would like to ask.
Obviously there are older wood sided and then steal cabooses. As far as the ones with the cupola in the center vs offset, is this a later design, railroad company preference, or regulated?
Were bay window cabooses built along with traditional style ones or considered a more modern design?
Finally is there any sites or literature to help educate me in this subject.
Thanks
