Bill, when placed just ahead of the "cabin car" (official PRR designation
for caboose), it would be considered the "last car" in the train. Railroads
didn't consider the caboose a "car" as it was non-revenue. That plus the fact
being ahead of the caboose, crews could keep an eye on it in case it did its
"oscillating" movements. Of course with any RR on any given day the "normal"
was sometimes "abnormal" just to get the work done, so almost anything was
possible.
