Love the little caboose on the back. 😊
Was a sad day when they retired the caboose 😢😮

A home-built loco pulling a single gondola and a car that allows you to safely get to the ties in the gondola. Someone is going to have fun replacing ties.

Same train that I got 2 days ago in Muncie Indiana

GREX = Georgetown Rail Equipment Company.
They make track mainrenance equipment. They are now owned by Loram.

GREX provides high speed cameras to inspect ties. It conducts inspections and provides a detailed assessment. This company recently merged with Loram.

This train is used to remove railway sleepers. The excavator picks them up and places them in the wagon in front.

[paulw]

This is a purpose built loco. The motor location is hard to place. But it is usually in or under the cab. The flat car section is for whatever. L.G.B. model trains have a similar one with a 20' container on the flatbed section

It's a tie train. That gondola has either new or used ties in it

[ervinthompson]

That one was tied down in Kimball, WV NS yard three weeks ago.

Cool. Sure is an awesome shot. 😊 Thanks for sharing. 😊

Freight Sprinter in Australia... except it is more like a truck setup.

You take a GP38 frame and put some gym lockers on top of it. Then you have the NS gon with parts and diagrams. Finish it off with a kiddie ride roller coaster and you can exit by the parking lot toll booth. Playing with the excavator is optional at extra cost of course

"What do we have here son?" Answer: Something that you would only ever see in a Jaw Tooth video!

[BeeLineEast]

Wow !! Great catch i have never seen one before.

[walterfink]

UP had a different looking train.
All is yello, with each locomotive and rolling stock different than we see on aMOW.

[terrycollins]

J.T. That’s the first for me. I’ve never saw a locomotive like that. Great catch !!!!

[mknm]

SPS: "self-powered SlotMachine"

[rogertemple]

Nope.... You don't see this everyday!!

[filanfyretracker]

I wonder what the security hut car is for. as the excavator has its own cab so its not remote operations.
