Story..........and related subjects
Next is the WEED SPRAY TRAIN.
That's what we are talking about here. It's a boxcar like
"spray car" with a window like opening on the "business
end" and equipped with gasoline engine powered mixing a pressurizing
equipment to mix the "chemical" with water and force it through the
sprayer bars which run crosswise of the car about coupler height on the front
and below the window. The spray train consists from the front...
the spray car and related equipment followed by a number of tank cars
carrying the chemical and water. This whole string is SHOVED by an engine
and usually a WAYCAR is behind the engine. A relatively short time
ago a picture of a train made up exactly like this was displayed on this
forum..It was in front of the depot in some town in Illinois IIRC and was an
EXACT DUPLICATE of the train I worked on Summer 1958. I wish someone
would dig this one up and display it here.
