I'd guess it is a mechanical mule for mines. That is to pull cars around on narrow gauge found in mines.
This is the Davis Motor Mine cart.
This "Davis Motor Mine Cart" is a home built creation using most of a 1926 Harley-Davidson 21 ci. B Model motorcycle.

100 years ago, my little town had a Feldspar mine with a tram railroad. The berms & evidence of railbed & road crossings are still there. I aways wondered what the engine & rail cars looked like.

My son just sent me this. They had runaway cars, but the crew got off the locomotive before it hit them. It happened in Texas.
