I believe this may be one of the vehicles used by the Western Pacific Railroad to fill in over the top of aging trestles. An aging railroad worker told me that the Williams Loop had at one time been a timber framed trestle. When it began to weaken the railroad crews simply filled it it with rock and soil effectively burying it and replacing it with fill. He described rail cars with drop down sides and a winched scraper blade that emptied the cars off the sides. This car on display at the Portola Railroad Museum, Plumas County, California.

There a coats of this very fine, thin dust/dirt here. We call it "Moon Dust." If you drive through it or a good wind comes say goodbye to daylight. If you step in a mound of it, your foot will get stuck like in mud...only dry.

One of the few bronzes that survived the time. The statue shows an athlet after a heat. Now, after scraping sand off of his oiled body he cleans the "strigilis", a scraper; with his left hand.
