The Train / Crane

I was at the F train stop near near Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

It had train wheels retrofitted to the undercarriage that connected a pressure wheel to the actual rubber of the normal drive wheels.

Is that a muffler from a retrofitted propane system?

There was a generator, and a remote controlled jack hammer, (both on there own mini train cars) all attached…


It looked pretty hokey to me, plus it would be horrible to have to drive it a job site in some random spot in the NYC subway system…
