Above and below are both pics of a "drovers caboose" -
first a Santa Fe Railway model, and below the interior
of a Chicago & Northwestern Railroad unit in 1939.
As you can see, there's ample room for seating and sleeping 4.
These special cabooses were made not just for train crew,
but also cowboys, when cattle were shipped by rail.
The cowboys would check on the cattle when
the train made water stops for the steam locomotives,
and then would be responsible for the unloading, when they
had reached Kansas City, or wherever the destination was.
And then, it was back on a 2nd class train to Magdalena.
For many cowboys, this would be their
first trip out of the region.
