thanks Rupert..That boxcar probably has tools and other supplies related to the contracting company...I'm glad you can verify that the tank car count is 8..just as I recalled and reported it. Pete

Is this the one you were referring to? Rupert Gamlen Auckland NZ From: CBQ@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CBQ@yahoogroups.com]

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.
