Well Rupert..you've come through again..This is, indeed the one..In fact it may be the very one I was on....You will note that the number of tank cars would approach the 8 that I mention..If you can blow the thing up enough to get an exact count on the tank cars it would be an additional confirmation that my account was factual.

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.
