CN 64049
With the help of David Larrabee, his friend Jamie Haislip, Tomy Boy and Paul O'Shell (see comments below), this vehicle has been identified as an older Racine dual Achor Adjuster (dual anchor adjuster) aka an 'anchor squeezer', serial number DAA-272-08, built in 2008. This unit 'boxes' the pre-applied rail anchor tight to the sides of the tie.. Much thanks for their help.
