America’s public transit infrastructure may not be as lauded as Europe’s or Japan’s, but this country still has a vast and wide-spread railway system. That system requires protection, which apparently might sometimes include a rail-truck like this full of skull-cracking law enforcers.

, built out for tactical operations on railways, is the first of such things I’ve ever seen but, dang, it’s pretty cool.

A Jalopnik reader found it for sale at , and as of the time of publication the high bid is $950.

website has some pretty interesting old photos and info from the days of horses and single-shot rifles to modern mechanization.

Anyway, on to the important stuff: who’s going to buy this and take “tacticool overlanding” to a whole new level?

Hat tip to Todd!

Why This Baja Racer Wasn't Punished For Running A Civilian Off The Road
Here’s video of an off-road racing truck stuck behind a slow-moving civilian truck, on a road in Mexico closed for the 2015 Baja 500. That bright orange machine piloted by Apdaly Lopez went on to win the race, after ramming this hapless driver out of the way. The Baja 500,...
