Amazing variety of unusual railcars from Steampunkvehicles tumblr

Why he's riding a big wheel / pennytfarthing on rails is anyone's guess... but I'm guessing he was a SOB to work for
There has to be a reason for the strange design angle of the steam engine, I'm going to guess it was for big uphill angles so the heat exchanger tubes would be level

Railcar with it's own portable turntable so they can drive back where they came from facing whatever they might run into
all of these are from http://http//steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com which has an incredible variety of all things old and steam powered

All those labels under these posts, and in the long column (about 1000) are there to help me, and you, find the stuff you are looking for. They sure help me find the things I recall having posted before, so I can add photos like these to the posts I want them in, or want to let you know where you can find similar things.

Can anyone identify this vehicle by year or manufacturer for Travis at the Santa Fe Super Chief website?

I am trying to find some information about a inspection car that Santa Fe used in Richmond. I found a picture of it in a Santa Fe book but it says nothing about the year or what kind of vehicle it was.
Thanks so much.
