Non-Revenue Cars

A Non-Revenue Car is a piece of rolling stock used on a railway that is not technically used for revenue service (i.e. it does not carry goods or passengers).

Types of Non-Revenue Car
Cabooses are a special type of rolling stock made to carry the conductor. The conductor would assist in braking and check for hot axleboxes from the caboose. While they were phased out in the 1970s and 80s, the D&N still owns several cabooses for special occasions. Maintenance cars are added at the front of D&N passenger trains as a means of transporting tools for immediate locomotive maintenance. They carry large wrenches, grease guns, a schematic library, among other things. In the past, handcars were used by workmen to get from place to place to work on track. They operate by using a pump to move a small flatcar. Handcars are not used in service by the D&N, but many examples are preserved at the Dallas and Northern Railway Museum. Various MOW vehicles are used to keep the tracks of the D&N in good order, from ballast regulators and tampers to cranes.
