P&W track scale test car In July 2001 Joe Landry at the P&W told me
"This car was designed and built by the P&W mechanical dept. as a track scale test car. For the last several years the tests have been performed by the Feds U.S. weights and measures. This car has long been scraped. This car no longer exists." The car has two axles. Over the coupler are the words "NO AIR BRAKE".
