Jet powered Ford L8000 dump truck on rails with APU and fuel tanks behind it.

 

Whats the story behind this?

 

Don't know anything about this, but it seems to me like that's a poor place to store the fuel??

isn't that from an old wiley coyote and roadrunner cartoon?

 

This is a railroad tunnel ventilator used by R. J. Corman railroad construction company. They are working on a tunnel in downtown Frankfort, KY, which is where I photographed it. It is a wild looking setup, though isn't it? The unit in the bed is a big fan and the trailer behind the truck is the generator to run it. I don't have any idea what is in the tanks behind the generator.

 

LOL I thought you were going to try to fool it off as a jet engine for longer.. that must be the starter motor on top lol. The tanks are probly for either pesticide or mold control. Just a guess
