SRS #132 - Sperry Rail Service |
| Description: |
Built in 1925 by the St Louis Car as a doodlebug for the Seaboard Air Line, it was converted by the Sperry Rail Services company to a rail detection car. From the photos posted on this website, it was still in service in 2005. The location and date were not marked on the back of the photo but from with the help of Chuck Zeiler's comment below, it must be after 2/1/1962 since the headlight is different after that. If anyone can help fix closer date, please let me know. |

Here's another Induction-Ultrasonic Car, this one I saw in Poplar Bluff, MO in February 2004 on the UP. This car is out of service due to behind hit in this end by a gondola while in Mexico. This car is in the older paint scheme and is named "Gary Langdon". This is ex-SAL 2003. 137 is also in the old paint scheme. |
