Traditions and History:
Cockaboose Railroad:
|
What is perhaps the most unique form of tailgating and
featured throughout the years in numerous magazines and television shows, the Cockaboose railroad has made
its way to Columbia and University of South Carolina football. Twenty-two cabooses line a railroad track
just outside of Williams-Brice Stadium - but these rail cars don't move and they certainly aren't something
you would see passing by on the rear end of a train.
The Carolina Cockabooses are stationary and many are wired with closed-circuit television to watch Gamecock
away games if making the trip is not feasible.
"The Cockaboose Railroad" - and it's different, it's unique, and it's exciting; and there's nothing else
like it in the nation.
