But yeah, I could see a rail service truck with bogies hauling a few trailer-fulls of oranges to a central location to convert to fuel or food here in Central Florida....

Raketenjagjpanzer, those trucks-with-bogies are apparently called "high-rail" trucks and come in multiple sizes, styles and functions--with cranes/jibs, water tanks, dump buckets, or tool boxes. The bogies are after-market additions to commercial truck models. ISTR an action/crime dramafilm where the crooks' getaway included one of these speeding down an unused subway line.
