A train, with caboose, is tasked to back into a spur enroute, and pickup a box car. Would it back the caboose in and couple to the car (as seen in Emperor of the North) so that boxcar came last with the caboose just ahead of it? Or drop the caboose on the mainline, grab the boxcar, and then the caboose, maintaining the "proper" caboose last arrangement?
A train will go up the mainline, and back into several spurs to drop off a revenue car at each spur. How is the train assembled? Is the first drop off directly behind the locomotive, or immediately before the caboose?
TIA
