Description
Some "cars" were used for necessary tests to properly maintain a railroad track. One example is the Scaletest Car in this photograph. The car was used to test the scales on the N&W system that weighed the rolling stock. Instructions on the car read, "Handle on rear of train ahead of caboose". This particular car was built in 1924.
