ASSCO History
A Section Car is a “maintenance of way” motorised vehicle formerly used on railways around the world by track inspectors and work crews. The Australian Society of Section Car Operators was founded in November 1999 after a series of informal meetings, by a group of section car owners who were running in South Australia.
