Thanks for the details about freight trains.

I have the impression that most freight trains have two guys in the engine and one guy in the caboose.

Is that correct?

Moving thousands of tons of cargo on land with just three guys is pretty darn amazing, if true.

I do not think they have a caboose anymore.

Not sure of the crew size.
