That is just awesome! It looks like some kind of nightmare from a sci-fi movie.

In what roll would this be used?

I was watching a show on the invasion of Russia by Germany.

The Russians’ railroad gage was different and the German had to re-distance the difference between the rails as they advanced.

In order to use railroads to supply troops in Russia every mile of track had to be moved closer together.
