Forgot to tell you guys earlier:
On my way in to school today I saw a heck of an Amtrak work train.
There was one big old green or yellow car that I have no idea about.
There were a ton of little red cars with grapples and what looked like the setup off a log trailer to hold ties on the cars.
There were more strobes atop them all than I could count. I didn't get a chance to look at much other than the 20 or so guys standing around and the stuff I already mentioned since I would've pegged the car in front of me if I didn't watch the road for any longer.
And since Randy works for the railroad...
Lisa is there any chance you could get Randy to identify what the heck this thing is? (picture taken by another CT Chapter member)

Thanks, Randy. That explains it.
I wish I had my camera with me this morning. It was pretty impressive.
It did look like a gov't job though. 20 guys standing around doing nothing.
Edit: Tried repping for Randy's post, but I'm on time-out again.
