(erielack) Re: Full (Excess) Crew Law

Due to the "full (fool) crew laws" in various states, each railroad handled  
accomodating the "extra" man in different ways. In Indiana, the Monon had a  
fleet of what appeared to be makeshift caboose/boxcars on is local  freights. 
This "caboose" often rode behind the locomotive.

Did the ERIE/EL have any such specialized equipment on their local freights  
in Indiana -- or was this just a "Mononism?"
