(...) I don't have this set myself, but judging from the design of the freight car, I'd say it's for positioning the train car for loading/unloading. It appears that when folded down, it would center the portion of the car for the crane by being (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
