Here in Toronto, the TTC has several flat cars for hauling equipment, tools and so forth. You can see them sometimes in use on the subway late at night.

Maintenance Of Way.  They have a number of odd cars designed for maintenance service.

What is MTA's business purpose for the flat car?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
