Artist: TOOPI Location: Jalisco, Mexico It’s always exciting to spot a Caboose. Until the 1980s, laws in the United States and Canada required all freight trains to have a caboose and a full crew, for safety. Technology eventually advanced such that the railroads, in an effort to save money and reduce crew members, stated that a caboose was unnecessary, since bearings were improved and lineside detectors were used to detect hot boxes, and better-designed cars avoided problems with the loads. The railroads also claimed a caboose was also a dangerous place, as slack run-ins could hurl the crew from their places and even dislodge weighty equipment. #Toopi #ToopiGraffiti #Caboose #CabooseGraffiti #Mexico #Jalisco
