'Weedy' the weedkiller wagon was recently rebuilt. Its wooden four-wheel chassis was replaced with the Hudson bogie seen here. The wooden chassis itself became a heritage restoration project.

Weedy serves as a weedkiller spraying wagon once or twice a year. For the rest of the year it is stored with a full tank of water and can be used for combatting the rare grass fires along the line, perhaps started by a passing steam locomotive.
