I'm going to have to lose alot of weight before I can be an engineer on this, I'll never fit in the cab :-)

I wonder if the only reason the "cab" is on there is to make a higher mounting point for the headlights.
Also, is that a hopper on top of the flatcar in the background, or is it on a different track?

Looks like a BNSF Box sitting on a UP Flat.

Wow, the poor thing looks blind! A very interesting piece of machinery indeed.

The engine is a remote controled goat rebuilt from and BN Geep by Railpower Technologies in Calgary. The cab and nose were kept to house the remote control equipment.
