Used in the yard around here to clean up piles of wheat, corn, etc, whatever leaks out
freight cars when they are banged around in the class bowl. Ever see a car getting whacked by a car sailing along just off the hump,
Bang!! and then a cloud of dust flys!!
Those piles of wheat after they get wet in the rain and start to ferment smell like hell, and gawwd help ya if you happen to tramp
in a pile of that nasty shit...
That sucker truck goes around cleaning up those piles of spilled product.

It's out in the yard behind Uke's joint... Uke understands that the machine is a sorta 'track-machine,' but beyond that...what the fuck izzit?
Any ideaz? Guesses? What have you... Opinions are accepted, but won't count towards an exact, precise answer. (Uke is automatically disqualified for being retired, and disabled, tu!) All other mebers, whether in good standing or not, feel free!
No, not that! That other thingie behind it! (on an 'adjacent' track) Dammit! The yellow thing...

Let's try it again...this time please ignore the 2LARRCO GE Dash-9 thing. Focus your attention PLEASE on the yellow painted thing, above the 2LARRCO locomotive, on an obvious adjacent track.
Please! (and please ignore Snippy's comment about Uke!)
The green shit looks like part of the little "Interbay Golf Center" course. The former BN owned a buncha land they weren't using, but they were paying taxes ta the city. They 'donated' it ta the city, and the city built that silly driving range/golf course on it.
Used ta be a community 'pea-patch' garden before the city 'developed' it... The shops used ta hold a golf tourney/safety-feed there. Uncle Warren's takeover put the kibosh on that! No money for safety awareness programs!

Uke, I am but a poor, uneducated locomotive engineer (retired) but I think that is a piece of maintenance of way equipment.

LORAM Railvac. That's what is painted on the near side. Looks pretty new. Maybe they're moving it somewhere on 2LARRCO 'cause there's a local outfit that does the vacuum work here.
They're in the yard at least once a week... Part of the 'bird-control' thing... Pigeons, crows, and seagulls feeding on spilled grain...
What caboose? That caboose lookin' thing is part of the thing...it's on the same fucking platform as the other bit!
You're startin' ta piss me off ya know that? Dammit!
