Image # A58-170; I captured this image of an old section car, also known as a put-put car; it was used by railroad track crews to maintain their sections of track. Today these have been replaced with pickup trucks equipped with R.R. wheels to provide highway adaptability and crew comfort. You can see this and many other interesting historical artifacts when you visit the Patee House Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri.  You may also visit their website by clicking on the link above.
