I always thought that when cabooses were eliminated the RR industry began putting a flashing light on the last car.  Is that not the case?

Yep.  That's the case because freight cars aren't equipped with marker light brackets.  The FRED also monitors the air brake pipe pressure.

But that still doesn't mean all cabooses had flashing red lights.
