Article #42: Brakeman Operations

 

The photo above to start this article shows the brakeman on local freight train C53 on the DVCRR Layout. On locals like this one and many other trains on this layout, the brakeman ride on the rear car, being either a caboose or a regular freight car. Here C53 is about to head into the Grovemont Yard. Locals that have cabooses especially need a brakeman to make sure everything is alright back there.
