SAR Caboose (Type 6, Side A)

This caboose has been modified into a 'locomotive' for road training of crews on the Coalex line to Richards Bay. Cabooses are used as living quarters, usually for personnel on tasks away from home at places without suitable accommodation. Even though they are always painted in passenger car livery, they usually run as part of goods trains. Side A is the compartment side and this model has only a baggage car type door and a tool locker door on this side, with no vestibule.
