Palsson shows a push car in her thesis:

His ran on the Chicago and North Western...in this case at Necedah,
Wisconsin.
However, Mike Cunningham shows a motorized one on the rebuilt railway
in his story, Phoenix
Railway. In that case, one could say that it was kitbashed from a motorcycle
and either a handcar or push car.

the line.

From reports of reconstruction, they have tamping machines. However,
I have not seen a pictures of them.
Rick Baxter has a picture of a crane taken early in 2000.

One of the flat cars, which were converted to passenger service, appears
to have been derailed. With my wife being a wildlife artist, I couldn't
resist leaving the bird in the picture.
