Title: It's a bird ... it's a plane ... it's ...
Post by: craftsmankits on June 16, 2021, 11:19:43 PM
Saw this today 6/16/2021 11:40 AM outside my workplace in Addison Il. on the former Illinois Central spur off route 53.  Currently Canadian National.  Curious little rail testing car.  Never saw one of these before.

Herzog Rail Testing.  Small vehicle.  Two seater, driver on the right hand side.  They've already had the various MOW cars run through previously this year.  Replaced portions of the crossing in the background around a month ago.  First glance at the truck and trailer, you'd think it was a yard service.

Thought some of you might find in interesting.
