"stock-photo-portland-or-usa-may-fairbanks-morse-sheffield-speeder-model-on-display-at-oregon-14133.jpg" - image/jpeg, 1500x1101 (24bit)

As everyone already knows, X8092 and 8094 show a track maintenance car at Washington, NJ. I shared the images with members of an internet forum for the NARCOA motorcar hobby and got feedback with identification of the make and model of the car.

Here's a link to page 686 of the 1921 Maint of Way Cyclopedia on Google Books... https://books.google.com/books/content?id=lLApAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA686&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U2kyru1b_7kE8xsN2KCjudsEwzHmA&ci=522%2C774%2C408%2C499&edge=0

I've also attached an image from Pinterest, taken by Joel Michael and from Shutterstock that depict a Sheffield No. 41 from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. Sure looks like the car at Washington is a Sheffield No. 41. The Sheffield No. 41 is a direct drive car, meaning that there is no transmission - the engine is directly connected to the rear axle; no coasting, no neutral, no gears no belt or chain. The only time the engine runs is when the car is moving. It also appears that the car has some wire splice pieces attached to the right side of the engine cover, an indication that this car is likely assigned to the signal department. Hand crank siren likely is a railroad add-on.

The signals behind the motor car protect the Hampton Branch. Railroad Ave crosses the tracks just beyond the signals.
