I'm reading about cabooses that are converted to remote control shoving platforms. Unfortunately, nobody has explained how they work. If the caboose is on the other end of the train a dozen freight cars away, how does the remote control work? I heard some people mentioning that the caboose was MUed to the engine. Wouldn't that only work on unit trains?
Also, around what year did railroads start using remote control?
