The Speeder Car w/Tools

Transportation
5
The work car, or speeder car, was used by section gangs to patrol and repair the tracks. Its handles were used to remove the car from the track when a train had to pass. The tool trailer was used on larger jobs, but workers did not like to use it when there was traffic because of the difficulty in getting it off the track.
