"No one would ever have both a cupola and bay windows on a caboose, that's just silly."

If you look it almost seems that it has generators on the wheels.
cabooses with both cupolas and bay windows were not as unusual as you'd think. penn central modified a whole series of former new haven cars by blakinig off the cupolas and adding bay windows.
the little pulley and belt is in fact an alternator or a generator used for lighting and charging the batteries. it worked similar to an alternator in a car. these were also common on cabooses.
The Mop also had some old wooden cabooses. They were what the Mop called a baggage-coach caboose which was built by the Mop for use in mixed train service on branch lines.
I've seen old wooden offset cupola and bay window combos, but never a centered one! :P
I'm learned something! ;)
WEEEE!!
