I have "weed sprayer" experience, but don't have time right now to "declaim" on the matter...However, being always glad to blather on about my experiences I'll get something on here in the next day or two... The car I worked was similar to this one, but not exactly like it...

Jeff and Ken - Here's an inserted and attached image that may answer
your questions:
 It shows CB&Q weed sprayer No. 211581 at Chadwick, IL, on August 17,
1964. Looks like the car was painted box car red. Today, the EPA would
immediately send this train to the RIP track for being environmentally incorrect
what with it's open viewing windows and underframe dripping weed killer.
But, in it's less environmentally sensitive era, I bet No. 211581 was
very efficient in killing weeds. I don't know what kind of poison was used, but
I remember it smelled awful, particularly after a rain. May be Leo or
another Group member can share their memories of working on a weed killer
train. Best Regards - Louis
