Clasp brakes on the railcar trucks, presumably.

I think the weirdest part of all in that is that it appears to be right hand drive in that head on photo.



Reminds me of one of GM's experiments where they let the auto stylists go nuts. They only built four but remarkably three are still left, one in active service.

Those must have been the same stylists that were involved in GM's Euclid TC-12 "split in half" bulldozer. Not many of them left either.

That was my first thought also. Lots of traction with 5 pairs of driven wheels but hopefully they have brakes inside each wheel and are not depending upon the single band emergency brake off the back of the transmission 😱
