March 21st, 2010 Revisiting the from the 19th

My son brought me a news paper article about this train.
It turns out it is used to to smooth the rails using a grinder.
What I thought were flames underneath the train were actually
sparks. The grinder is used to remove cracks in the rails so they don't
grow bigger. It goes 6 to 10 miles an hour when smoothing.
