Sounds like a GREX SlotMachine: https://georgetownrail.com/Material-Handling/SlotMachine-and-SPS
I’ve seen the SlotMachine and the similar Herzog Multi-Pupose Machine on the BNSF around Chicago.

You saw a slot machine... they come in powered and unpowered versions. Namely a 10 unit long articulated low side gondola with a excavator used in all kinds of projects.
