This photo is alleged to be of a pre-war experimental American amphibious truck, but that's about all the info I have. Any thoughts?

For fording rivers perhaps.

No information on these odd vehicles other than they were captured by the Germans in Poland and pressed into service. Obviously intended for rail, but I've never seen anything like them before.

There's some really good info on this link to a book. Go to page 197, chapter 18:
My Tank Is Fight! - Google Book Search

Here's another couple pics and a better version of the pic in my first post:

It seems the guys on board seem to feel the same way.Judging from the expressions on their faces! I'd bet at least one of em sent the picture home for laughs.

If not for the location, I would have swore it was a ride at a fair.
