    Sorry for the glare on the picture. A friend of mine took this out the window of his car. I've never seen anything like it and wonder if one of you NS fans could identify the locomotive (?). I'm assuming that the car goes with it, but I really don't know.

    There was some discussion of this on trainorders.com
    NS Track Geometry Train

    Here are more photos of the train(looks like an SD7 or SD9 chassis):

    Was on that a while ago. The slug has track testing equipment and a dedicated-power generator. The coach is loaded with computers and test gear.
