SRS 125 - Sperry Rail Detection Car |
| Description: |
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. |

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. |

| Description: |
Originally built by the St Louis Car Co in April of 1936 as SAL #2028, it was re-painted with the Seaboard Coast Line logo after the 1967 merger. Most of its SCL short life was spent servicing Florida passengers up to Amtrak taking over the SCL passenger service in 1971. No informaiton (date, location, photographer) was given for this reprinted photo but thanks to Mike Woodruff (see comment below), it is an RPF coach & SCL doodlebug duo in Lakeland, Florida. |
