What’s a “Bobber” Caboose? “ Bobber ” refers to the compact, four-wheel (two-axle) cabooses used in the late 1800s–early 1900s on light-duty branches and short lines. They were economical and nimble but gradually disappeared as safety regulations and higher speeds favored 8-wheel steel cabooses. Lionel’s bobber captures that old-time railroad charm in a short, curve-friendly package that looks great on any train. Santa Fe Flavor The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe is one of America’s most storied western roads—famous for high-speed freights, trans-continental routes, and bold red paint. This caboose’s A.T.&S.F. lettering and crisp white road number pop against the vivid body, making an eye-catching end-of-train marker.
