Rusty Traque posted:GG1 4877 posted:On several railroads the term caboose was the slang term.
Most people know about the PRR and their use of "cabin" for a caboose.
Many western railroads including ATSF, SP, and CB&Q used the term "waycar"in lieu of caboose.
Also, CP and CN refer to them as "vans."

On the Boston & Maine they were reportedly called "Buggies".
