Work Train

[olroy2044]

Took a back road near my house today, and found this work train (?) parked on a siding. I didn't know this siding was there, even though it is less than a mile from my house. Don't know what they are used for, either , but thought that you rail fans here might enjoy the pics.

As shot, with my Komine 35-70 zoom on the 20d:

The tracks seem to be well cared for.

Yes, they are. This is the main north-south road from Mexico to Canada. It is a very busy line. I don't know for sure what these sidings serve, but now my curiosity is aroused!
