Found her.  She's a  Buckwalter electric tractor. They were built n 1912. Originally battery powered, later repowered with gasoline engines. In later years they put pneumatic tires on her.

You know, in a larger scale...1:32 or larger, this one could be built with the tires, controlled by an r/c car receiver w/steering and onboard battery. Just thinkin'..... Imagine being able to switch cars with this, and just drive it off the tracks when the move is done.

Those spoke wheels, first photo, look like they are rubber covered and have either flanges or there is a depression in the rubber to keep the tractor on the tracks. Real neat!
