Pardon my ignorance ...

Exactly what is the function of a "Track Geometry Car" or train?

My very uneducated guess would be that it checks track gauge for proper dimension and confirms a parallel rail condition.
Beyond that, I'm clueless!

Thanks in advance for any insightful edification!


I am aware of the "Sperry Rail Car," long a fixture on the railroads of this country,
but beyond being yellow and interesting looking with all sorts of apendages on its roof,
I have no earthy idea what its function might be! :oops:
