I'm on the train to my parents house, and we just passed by a maintenance depot with a bunch of awesome road-rail trucks lying around. Have some more!

ok, this last one is actually a full conversion, but come on, so cool.

It would be pretty awesome. You would have to be smoking a pipe while wearing a 3 piece suit.

My city is one of the few in Canada where the CN & CP mainlines meet. There's a large truck dealer near me, so I see these getting serviced there quite often.
