In Linden, NJ there is a small yard operated by what remians of Conrail. It services the GM assembly plant there, along with a number of various industries. <br /> <br />For the past few weeks, there has been a yellow Conrail work truck parked there that has, what appears to me, an actual jet engine mounted on the rear of the truck. The truck has railroad wheels so it can hop up onto the tracks and cruise down the rails. <br /> <br />The rear nozzle of the engine is pointing approx 45 degrees up from horizontal. I couldn't really see if the mounting of the engine allowed it to move (up and down / back and forth) at all. There were "Warning - Jet Blast" warning stickers applied to the truck. <br /> <br />Can someone clue me in? <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Jim <br />
