Weed spraying has come a long way from the converted boxcars and baggage cars of my era.

Ane, even further back in time, before the 1960's, they had weed burners.

On youtube.com there is a collection of home movies called the “Bob Chester” series.  One movie is devoted to Frisco and shows a weed burner in action. I believe these machines burned a significant amount of ties along with the weeds.
No working O gauge model of this machine has been attempted...hehe.
