    Yes, I've seen these vehicles in Canada, we call them hirails. Sure beats the noisy and rough riding speeder cars rail crews used in days gone by. When following the train, if the hirail had a manual transmission you could hitch on to the last car, put the transmission in neutral, shut the engine off, and save a few bucks on petrol.

      Nice. I was wondering what they were called.
      I live next to the defunct Forgotten World Highway train tracks in NZ.
      It's now set up for tourists in rail carts so is still maintained.
      Be a quicker way to get to the local town or just to go down the road to visit mates.
      Tourist schedule depending, of course :)

    I drove the Nullabor in 1975 in a truck I bought in Sydney from a retired engineer. He fitted it out to travel the outback. A 1956 International Harvest truck in mint condition. I got lucky and his knowledge of the roads saved my life so The final leg of my 6 month outback trek was the Port Augusta to Freemantle route. Wow it blew me away and no A/C I might ad. Up early 2 or3 am when it was pleasant say80 degree's farhrenheit , looking out for big six foot tall red roo's. I love Australia for diverse terrain unspoiled by man and the people who were truly peaceful loving souls.. Yeah and the range feed beef topped off with a local beer.

    I did this job in the North East. Because it was a 'commuter railroad' we could only go 30mph forward according to regulations, and 20 mph in reverse. Our titles were track inspectors. Patrol speed was slow enough where (being it was the main line with 4 tracks) we could observe any and all FRA defects and violations. Great job to have!

    That's the very concept I have in mind for a user-friendly railroad. One would drive a vehicle into a device like the car washes use, put the flanged wheels onto the tracks, and drive away, at least until the vehicle catches up to the train and hooks up to it. I would design a vehicle with a front door for the purpose of catching up to long distance trains where people could gather and have a chat or a meal, or watch a movie. At the end of the run, the vehicle would uncouple for local roads.
