I think this is called a ballast re-conditioner or cleaner. I do know this... it is VERY noisy as it moves along the tracks. It was southbound on KCS tracks just south of the 20th St. crossing adjacent to the Dillons grocery store.
New KCS Overpass at 25th and Connecticut nearing completion. My wife's stepbrother, Brett Reeves, was engineer on the project. Connecticut Ave. is a major N-S artery in the town, and the overpass had been discussed for decades.
A restored Jersey Central passenger car. Located at 1100 N. Prosperity Ave, Joplin, MO (rural Jasper County) Was part of a gift shop business at that location.
CN car, CNLX 9412, probably enroute to a chemical plant west of Joplin, MO. Taken from the old Route 66 railroad overpass at the Galena yard, looking WNW. Probably BNSF line.
