Cabooses/"shoving platforms" are a great tool for use when there is no runaround track at the end of the move. I wish that more railroads would have kept them for making safe shoves without requiring a conductor to hang onto the side of a freight car for long periods of time.
Th CSX local, shown in the video appears to be going fast but in actuallity was probably going at restricted speed between crossings and may have slowed down to protect them.
No matter what the prototype does, there is always a reason to include a caboose on a model railroad.
