Track Scale Test Weight Car Conrail 80065, a "rear-end only" (in a train) beauty built in October of 1929, weighing in at exactly 80,000 pounds. Interesting old-school features include poling pockets (dimples at end corners of body), vertical brake staff with horizontal wheel, and a unique coupler "cut lever". Sign attached to railing reads: "Do not grease box or make repairs to this car unless directed by Scale Inspector." |
