How to use "Caboose" in context?
The term caboose is derived from the Spanish word for box. A caboose is a unique type of railroad car that is neither a freight car nor a passenger car, but instead is a vehicle that is used for storage or auxiliary purposes. Cabooses are often found on railroads that serve remote or small towns, and are sometimes used as repair shops.
