    Lucky they're in Mexico & not Oz as I'm sure someone with a little power would deem it illegal!

    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.

    I think that Qld still uses Suzuki or Diahatsu F20/50s for track inspections,used to se them regularly on the Petrie-Nambour inspections OHS probably stopped the 3 wheel gangers trollies
