magikbus, we share the same love of Dodge Power Wagons. These wonderful, indestructible old trucks were a big help in building the Alaska Highway. That is a very cool video you posted Tom. Haven't these "designers" ever heard of a Unimog? Maybe that is where they "discovered" portal axles Not to take away from the Concept FC. I'd have it in my driveway in a second if it was affordable It was a strange coincidence that I should see a new(er) Dodge on the tracks near my home today that very closely matches your Alaskan pic. I haven't seen a Dodge before to my recollection. Apparently Dodges are harder to convert to rail service than Fords or GMs, according to the driver of this rig. He thinks the conversion was done in the US.

Yes, very interesting. Here's a Canadian company that specializes in rail conversions, though a Ford is depicted here:
