Cabooses are still in use by the Union Pacific.
There is an SP Bay window caboose in the UP Pringle Yard, in Salem Oregon.
January, 2025. 

I have seen it on locals.

IIRC there may be another in Albany Oregon.

CSX uses a chessie system caboose for the local that comes into Johnstown, Pa. It's used as a shoving platform but it's still pretty cool to see a caboose on the end of a train these days.
