Re: Railroad Inspection Car
They ran those putt-putt MOW cars down the CB&Q tracks by our house in the 50's and 60's. When the train would come along I would see the workers get out, pull these long wooden handles out, and lift the whole works off the tracks and wait for the train to pass. Sometimes they would be at a little wooden deal that was perpendicular to the tracks that they would wait on.
They had to be heavy that amazed me as a kid them doing that.
