Palmetto Brick Narrow Gauge RR 5of10
For all the narrow gauge buffs. These little clay hoppers have some serious vestiges of prior turn of the century railroading. Note the link for the link and pin couplers that they used lying on the coupler pocket of the left hand car. The railroad appears to have run only two trains that were always coupled as they appear to have done no switching. This reduced the number of times the brakeman faced the safety hazard of crushed fingers between the coupler pockets.
