Brakeman´s cabin

"A brakeman´s cabin (also brakeman´s cab) or brakeman´s caboose (US) was a small one-man compartment at one end of a railway wagon to provide shelter for the brakeman from the weather and in which equipment for manually operating the wagon brake was located. They were built in the days before continuous braking was available and the locomotive brake needed to be augmented by brakemen applying the wagon brakes individually." - (en.wikipedia.org 18.09.2020)
