By the 1980s, the caboose was made obsolete by new technologies and smaller crews. This car served on Michigan's Detroit & Mackinac Railway, which operated a 200-mile route between Bay City and Cheboygan along the Lake Huron shoreline.

- Sherburne Company Caboose Whistle, 1932-1940 - Usually the caboose was at the rear of a freight train, where it served as a workspace for the conductor and crew. But when a train ran in reverse, the caboose became the front. The crew used a whistle like this to signal a warning when approaching railroad crossings. Air pressure from the train's brake line produced the whistle's sound.
