track car newfields nh ... we think it was checking the track guage...

THIS IS WHAT BRIAN SAID IT IS...

that is not a guage machine, that is a laser liner-tamper. The cart out in front has a target on it which is hit by a laser from the tamper itself, letting the machine know how to adjust the track height for lining and leveling.
thanks for sharing
