A former Milwaukee Road Ford Bronco S.U.V Hi Rail maintenance truck. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. Saturday, May 18th, 2013., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph during a May 2013 visit to the Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois. www.irm.org
A popular American sport utility vehicle for many years rolling down the many streets and highways, is the Ford Bronco.
The former Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad aka the Milwaukee Road, fitted theirs up with Hi Rail wheels, and used them in railroad maintenance of way / track inspection operations.
This example from the Milwaukee Road survives today at the Illinois Railway Museum, and stil performs it's original job maintaining museum trackage and infrastructure.
Thanks.
