Oil was also sprayed on the rails to reduce corrosion from the salt
brine dripping from passing ice reefers. Oil spray cars vanished at

I don't believe I have ever seen an "oil spray car".

Weed sprayers, but not oil sprayers; does any one have a photo to

share?

PRR #497700, page 422, Pennsy Power 3. The caption notes that the PRR
"was one of the few railroads that did it [spay oil] mechanically."
