Remote Control Shoving Platforms

[FCIN]

Have seen photos of a couple of the CSX R/C platforms as you mention, but I'm thinking that their purpose was to be attached to a locomotive so it could be operated by R/C and not used as a shoving platform. Of course a trainman with a R/C pack could stand on the back of a caboose with several cars between the locomotive and the caboose and operate it as of course the R/C pack transmits radio signals to the locomotive.

This was done on the Willamette & Pacific's operation to the Hull Oaks Sawmill and a video can be found here: http://dawson-station.blogspot.com/2009/...-tour.html
