§ 7614 Caboose Toilet Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •If you own or run a train in California that carries people or workers, you must have a special toilet in the caboose (the last train car).
  • •The toilet must be a flush toilet or a special chemical toilet that the state says is okay.
  • •If you don’t follow this rule, you’re breaking the law.

Example

A train company in California uses an old caboose with just a bucket as a toilet for its workers.

This is against the law because the caboose must have a flush toilet or an approved chemical toilet.
