Odd train look?

Hello all. I just recently purchased the game and am working on my first few cities - however I've noticed something a bit odd with the freight trains in my farming community. A good 90% of them appear like this:

Once in a while I'll see a regular looking train with a locomotive and a number of cargo cars attached to it. So is this little greenish car thing normal? If so, any idea what it is?

those little green things aren't trains, but the maintance things that drive around your railways, don't worry, there should be plenty of them going around in the railways

Ahhh that explains it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I've found that some of the train skin mods like trolca's change them to "pusher" engines, like those that sort cars in railyards

There is a mod to convert them to old British DMU Single Units.

Ahh, many a post about the mysterious green thrack checker has been had before. There are various modds that change these to different things, but there should be one that gets rid of them all togeather.

It would lack realism if there were no service units on the railroad.
