Sperry Rail Car

As I was waiting for the train last week the Sperry Rail Service car was passing through Port Chester station along with a small low profile crane towing behind rails. Does anyone know what the car is used for, perhaps a contractor to mta? Thanks...

Info "straight from the horse's mouth" at www.sperryrail.com. While more employment-oriented, the web page also gives an overview of the company mission and methodology.

Sperry is a private company based in Danbury, Ct. The Sperry Rail car inspects the rails. Mag Res and others. It finds minute or internal problems with the rails. Things that might not be visable to the naked eye. The low-pro crane you saw belongs to Metro-North and it goes along with the Sperry car so that it can be used to make repairs as the Sperry crew finds faults.

Yes, read the website, you'll find more. The above is just a rough description.
