Here's several. Walthers makes them and have 10 of them for CR. They are not correct for CR though.

I'll offer this one, a photographic print that I bought about twenty-five years ago and have absolutely no idea at this point who took it, but since I paid cold hard cash for it when I bought it back then ... it's mine ...

A Reading Company trolley-bodied track sweeper used where there was street running along the piers of the Delaware River in Philadelphia. Built at the turn of the LAST century.
