That is a caboose, they have became a rare sight to see since around the 1980's the rules having cabooses on the back of trains were relaxed following the use of defect detectors and EOT devices.

It's a bay-window caboose. The Southern Railway loved to use that style, and that's what the one closest to me has. No every caboose has cupola on the top of it. In fact, Conrail used a very basic style of caboose:
