SRS 125 - Sperry Rail Detection Car  Contributor's Pick!       
Sharp looking "doodlebug" reborn as a MOW car. Built in 11/1925 by the St Louis Car Co as a passenger doodlebug for the Lehigh Valley RR, it eventually was purchased and rebuilt as this MOW car. Still sporting its grill in front and solid color places the date somewhere from the 1960's up to the 1980's when a newer model was introduced. No photographer or location listed. With Mike Woodruff's help on another photo like this one, I have set the location tentatively as Mineola, NY.

Robert Farkas General This might be in the Philadelphia area as the railroad has the outside electrical rail for interurbans to get power. 4/4/2014 10:03:21 AM
