Trivia
- The Sodor Line Caboose was recalled for lead paint in 2007.
- The back of the Sodor Line Caboose's 1999 and 2002 character cards refer to it as a "he" but it has no gender due to it being faceless.
- The Sodor Line Caboose's 2010 character card refers to it as a brake van.
- It is modeled after an American design caboose. This would later form the basis for Bruno from All Engines Go!.
