Track Bus No. 19 is a motorized rail car built on a White Motor Company standard truck chassis. It was built by A. Meister & Sons in 1919 for the Hetch Hetchy Railroad and used as an ambulance to transport sick, injured or dead workers, and to carry passengers.[2] An additional five similar railcars were ordered, none were exactly the same.
The car sat unused for 32 years before being restored and housed in Modesto then El Portal and in 1997 moved to the Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown California.
