question re: Permanente Local and cabooses....

I have a friend in British Columbia, an engineer for the CP up there whose interest is in cabooses. He has filmed them and ridden them in his spare time around the west. Several years ago he filmed one on the Permanente Local. I guess this runs from San Jose to Permanente? I am not that familiar with the line. Anyway, he asked me in an email yesterday if that local was still using a caboose? Any replies would be appreciated.

As long as I am typing this, if anyone has information of any railroads using a caboose could you post that here and I will pass that information on to him. He forwarded a YouTube clip showing a caboose in th South San Francisco yards. I do not know if this is used for local switching or not?? Anyway, anyone with information on the current use of cabooses in operations locally or anywhere in the West would be very much appreciated.
Regards, and thanks,
Rolland A. Meyers
