Drover caboose for cattle trains. Or the bowling alley car for MOW crews.
Feel free to add a question of your own anyone.
Wide radius curves?

Isn't this the car built for Anne of the famous limerick?
There once was a girl named Anne Heuser
Declared that no man could surprise 'er
Till a fellow named Gibbons
Untied her Blue Ribbons
And now she is sadder _________
Who else to build it but WABASH!
Now where's my free virtual Fluffernutter?
Everybody knows Train X. But what was train Y, and why was it called that?

We're fresh out of Fluffernutter. Would a jar of Marmite do?
The Aerotrain was a streamlined trainset that the General Motors (GM) Electro-Motive Division (EMD) introduced in 1955. GM originally designated the light-weight consist as Train-Y (Pullman-Standard's Train-X project was already underway) before the company adopted the Aerotrain marketing name.
Such high hopes and the inevitable, sad ending.
Thanks, Ed

OvermodWhat is the hose hanging on the back railing used for. Backup whistle. (Can also be used to set service or emergency application)
BUZZER : You are confusing two different things.
The back up whistle is usually a small pipe and whistle attach to the rear handrail. ALL it does is whistle, either as a warning to the public on back up moves or to the engineer.
That is NOT what is shown in the picture, what is shown in the picture is a tail hose or backup hose. It connects to the train ine and has a brake valve on it. It is used to apply the brakes on a back up move. It can be detached and has the hook in the exhaust pipe so it can be hung on the rear railing.

Brent's photo is pretty dark to be able to see if there is a whistle in that assembly or not. "Most" pigtails I've seen have a whistle as part of the valve or sometimes on a separate tee.

Brent, this reminds me, I have not seen a recent post on the "Waldorf and Statles Photo of the Day!" thread. I enjoyed that thread...

Ya, Simon, that one was a lot of fun with good participation and tons of great photos and videos from so many. When Photobucket went into its tailspin most of the pics went with it.
