Switch Machine Solar 1

A solar powered trailable switch machine.
This is a switch machine that is now being used in the BNSF yard in Bakersfield, Ca.. The one that's on the Tehachapi Pass Route. Its also being used in many other yards as well. It sure is a back saver, since all the yardman has to do to throw a switch now is to push a button, rather than bend over and struggle with a lever. 04-06
