Looks like a very dirty and noisy job.
HTT clinches it, it is a Harsco rig.

Nice shot Sonny,
probably a PJ grinder car - Panderol Jackson, now Harsco Track

You usually find these grinders out about every couple of years to
even out any
irregularities or wear and tear on the rails. A particular problem
is on narrow
radius curves which have to be ground into shape to prevent that
horrible
metallic screeching noise you hear when a train goes past.
Here's a whole gallery of them:
