EC-4 Inspection Car at Stockton
Author: chrisb

Calrailfans meeting at Stockton Tower Saturday had a nice surprise when the EC-4 showed up, stopped just past the road crossing and returned back into the yard. 24 foamers enjoyed trains, great food and drink and warm weather.

Photo 2...EC-4 Crew technicians.

Photo 3...What is this apparatus protruding from windshield?

It fires a brief electro-magnetic pulse - temporarily disabling foamers that might get in its way <G>.

Looks like an automobile AC compressor.

Could it be the laser cannon used to blow up the Death Star?
