I am only guessing here but I feel that the provision on caboose on either ends could be reduce the turn around time for these rakes. After all, it does not take very long to load/unload these wagons.

Most of the BTPN rakes I have seen have had this arrangement. Since the cargo is often highly flammable material, having a caboose in between the loco and the rake, would give the loco crew enough time to escape to a safe distance in the event of an accident. But then what about the guard in the last caboose? Is the last wagon kept empty for the same purpose?
