Jeeps can go anywhere - even down the rails
Ok, so check out the jeep FC set up to drive up & down the railroad rails (1/2
way down page) at
http://wx4.org/to/convergence/geepjeep.html
In WWII (ETO, CBI, MTo and others I am sure) the US Army put special rims on
jeeps and used them to pull boxcars around when the real locamotives were all
shot up...

Just putting the accessory wheels on a vehicle and using the tires
for propulsion was pretty common on the old Great Northern line.
Jeeps, trucks, sedans, etc. were all used by various folks that
worked on the railway. Most had instant lower/raise wheels so
the vehicle could be taken off the tracks at any crossing area
when desired...or necessary.
