    Any guesses? I am taking a wild guess that this might be part of a coupler release mechanism.

    Whatever it is, that is a great tight close-up.

    Looks like a truck spring from the sideframes...

    A hint. Something to do with passenger trains. :D

    That equalizer bar or hangar bar on the outside of the trucks?

    Nothing to do with the trucks or couplers.

    Try this one.

    What it is, may be fairly easy. So, the question is, what type of equipment is it on, etc?

    Russ,
    My guess on your shot--a mail-bag rack on an RPO.

    Electrical power hook up for passenger car when disconected from an engine while sitting at the station?

    No idea what it's on. But looks like a sand box and filler cap.

    :D

    Correct on part one. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Before I show a wider shot, any guesses on the rest of the question? :confused:

    Otherwise, no. Not a clue. As yet...

    It's not a very large hopper to store sand from what I can see so must be some self propelled piece of equipment that is not intended to pull much else. I'm guessing a Sperry Rail Services car or maybe a Doodle Bug/Gas Electric of some sort.

    It can't be an every day piece of equipment. Must be something m-o-w, or unusual.
