looks like a track maintenance thing? Like, almost a train, but not exactly.

It seems to be one of these, and yep, maintenance and work along the rail line. https://www.herzog.com/innovation/on-track-maintenance-material-distribution-and-pick-up-machine/

The most interesting Pic I've seen from this account. I wish it also included pics of "main street" or the equivalent.

Poking around that appears to be the Herzog Multi-Purpose Machine, which is kind of a train but not exactly

I hope at least one is named Werner by its crew.

Lyle is a real "hm have i driven through that? probably" kind of town

The random popular Google photo uploads are the secret sauce of the account.

Doesn't capture the old or new vibe at all lol (understandable since most of those photos are of the Columbia River and the town is in a box canyon next to it)

Honestly the last few have made me want to visit that area too. Love the lush PNW, but the stark contrast for the interior is also nice.
