I noticed one of the brothers said "railway" but the English translation of one of the other Mexicans showed "railroad". I wonder where the brother learned English.

Technically, it's a HiRail - like this one I photographed where I worked.

You would have to be cautious driving over old railway lines. But as Mick says, it would be fun.:)
