Why Don't Trains Have Cabooses Anymore?

What was their actual purpose in the USA Super? Is it the equivalent of our 'Guards Vans' that would be used to carry baggage, bikes and other big items?

If so my guess would be that cars happened and most people with lots of luggage now use those so they ceased to have a function. On most passenger trains these days people keep their luggage with them if they got any...
