"What is that Whatsit" - Railway Car Mover

A Railway Car Mover


Thank you very much to those who cast their votes for this unusual item. This 'whatsit' is a lever to move a railway car. It lies on the railway track where a long pole fits into the open end which then acts as a lever. The other end presses on the wheel which then moves the railway car.

Michelle that is incredible! You mean one man can move a whole railway car just by using that lever? I will have to look that up and read more about it. Hugs.
