I got this picture a few weeks ago coming home from my morning hike with my dogs.

It had I think two flat cars one of which had a crane mounted to it. I do not recall the cars past those flats, I was too focused on the engine.

I saw it again yesterday coming home from my dad’s house.

This is about 2/3rds of the size of the standard BNSF engines here in NM.

From the manufacturer's website, appears to be a maintenance of way (railroad and ballast maintenance) vehicle.

Thanks. I was going to look it up today. I am going to try and build a LEGO version of it. I was unsure if herzog was the manufacturer or the operator. But I figured either was it was a good place to start.
