1509. Pry bar for moving heavy containers.

1509 is used to move rail cars by hand. It sounds like a job for Superman,
but I've seen the grainbuyers move full box cars of wheat by using one of
these things. They are slow to get started but, once they get moving, can
move along quite well. Stopping was done with a manual brake on the car.
This was so that an empty car could be placed under the filling spout
