Manitoba Hires End-of-Train Caboose Test Safety Backing
Manitoba's Highways Minister John Plohman welcomed the Canadian Transport Commission decision to keep cabooses on test trains for electronic end-of-train device trials. He argued caboose crews protect against track faults, monitor air brakes, and help prevent derailments, warning about weather, power issues, and potential safety gaps if cabooses were removed. The CTC said tests could proceed without cabooses, but Manitoba will monitor developments and rail safety across its 6,400 kilometres of track.
