Don't know what it guzzles, but that would be a challenging modeling project!

That is a vacum truck for cleaning out manholes, sewers, etc.

In this service, the vac truck sucks up fouled ballast. It's not a proper fix as the track either has to be removed and grade dug out or an undercutter used.

It hi-rails behind business trains and steam specials to slurp up all the foam residue.
