What is that light gray car in the middle of the photo?

The long flatcar (gray car) is used by BNSF maintenance of way. Exact purpose is unknown to me.

I can't help but stare at that MOW flatcar. It has a freaking park bench on it!

It almost looks to me like an equipment car for a pile driver...
