Me and a friend got sprayed by the hose on the back of one of these trains before, I don't think the crew like how close we were to the train...

I wonder what the temperature of the rail head is, even after it's been doused.

WOW, what a piece of equipment. I wouldn't be surprised if the Engineering team that designed and built that equipment haven't wound up in the loony bin. Amazing.

Great to see something so interesting and different on the rails!..Thanks for posting!..I saw one of these in Elko,Nevada one time, In the middle of winter, with snow on the ground, Lots of Steam!!..Also reminds me of the old Weed sprayer train that DeAngelo Bros. used to run before they changed over to 5,000 rail trucks!

The water being sprayed is for sparks to hopefully prevent any fires from starting.

Well, if both rails were being grinded and sprayed, the Amtrak train got sprayed too...
