Looks like either a PA with a lot of bondo or a GE with a lot of bondo and a blown turbo[:D]

Having a hard time seeing it, maybe it's my Scottpak in the way, or my structural protective gear and helmet??

Somebody call in for a secoond on the box...

I would think that it might not be very conservative on fuel.

And I agree on the air packs and protective gear,since that
is rather highly volatile fuel.

Oh, I forgot, you're a PSD man.

You're looking at a built Cummins, probably with twins. (These can make even the best Diesel Dynamics PSDs look a bit slow...) Looks like the infamous "Black Dodge" (hint: look at www.smokinya.com -- subtle URL, no?)

Many of these trucks have 'smoke switches' which intentionally intensify the unburned-smoke thang. Foxworthy et al. may have commented on this (and, if not, probably should!) It's theater.

You see smoke like this at tractor pulls, too -- and I might add at lawnmower pulls (does 750hp out of a 3-cylinder Kubota start to interest anyone?)

Yes indeed, you COULD put it on rails, with some care, and yes, as jruppert indicates, it would then be a 'high rail to hell'. Wouldn't have too good a factor of adhesion, though...
