Posted by John West on January 17, 2007 Fascinating. Posted by trainmaster611 on January 17, 2007 I've heard of these before. They are essentially small cars or trucks that had a railcoad knuckle to connect to trains. The PRR used them because the curvature of the industrial spurs in the area was too tight for a switcher. Posted by Tony DeSeta on January 18, 2007 Jack, Thank you so much for sharing these gems with us! I`m really excited about the early color shots you and some of the other "Old Hands" have been posting,from an eara before I was even born(1957). I love this site,and the terrific photographers here. Tony De Seta Posted by Marty Bernard on January 18, 2007 Yes, truely amazing. Thanks. Posted by Nicholas Benson on January 18, 2007 Since I've been old enough to notice what I'm looking at (1995 or so) I've never seen anything like that :-) Posted by SD45-Lady on June 12, 2008 I want to drive it! - Post a Comment - (Registration is no longer required to post photo comments.)
