Shiny boxcars

Not exactly a caboose, but it does ride on the tail end, has "normal" doors and looks great! If you'll look closely you'll see that these two are connected on the side by a drawbar type device.

#201 & 203, almost consequitve numbering.

What exactly do these cars do? It surely doesn't take two full-size cars to replace one relatively small eot device.

I think they keep up the break pressure in winter. This is what CP did, however they were placed mid-train and have since been replaced by AC4400CW's for DPU service. I haven't seen them since winter, thus they appear to be seasonal.
