I was checking for new models from Lemke, and came across a couple of iterations of a Liebherr wheeled excavator.

The prototype is marketed in the U.S. and Canada, although I cannot say for sure if I have ever seen one.   :o

I think I have seen one on the rails during one of the MANY maintenance windows I seem to find when setting aside time for railfanning.  :|   IIRC it was a contractor rather than a RR.

Lou,

Thanks for posting the photos.  The new Lemke model could certainly be used as a stand-in.
