Section Work Car 992

This is #992. one of two “section cars” on the Cape Ann. These are used for day-to-day maintenance of way tasks that do not require a full work train. The mini-caboose provides a place to ride, have lunch, and shelter. The 20’ container provides secure storage for tools and materials. The locomotive must always couple to the caboose end, as end clearance is needed to access the container. Like all non-revenue equipment, the road number is in the 900-999 series.
