N&W On-Track Motorized Vehiche No. X-100

[NW Mailing List]

A fine Pennsylvania Dutchman over Allentown-way sent this today.

Someone probably knows what this ugly mystery craft is, and by what
mechanism it rode on the rails.  It is not set up right to be a hump
jitney, so my guess is it served as an on-track inspection vehicle of some
sort.

It appears to be equipped with flag holders on the pilot and marker
brackets up near the roof line.  So it must have been used in territory
where on-track vehicles ran with Train Orders and displaying signals and
markers.

This ugly thing would look delightful wrapped around the front drawhead of
a Y6, in one of Mr. Matt Goodman's masterful dioramas !
