Scott,
I miss seeing them too, that little light on the end car just isn't the same...
My son and I stayed in a caboose in a park in Illinois.
It had a nice bathroom and comfortable beds.
They also had a button you could push to get "the real train" experience.
There was sound, and the caboose rocked back and forth as if it were moving, pretty neat for an adult, probably fantastic for a kid!
I'd guess there must be other places in the country you could rent/enjoy one.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
