Antennas on RR Tracks

I have seen 2 antennas on RR (type) tracks.  The 76M dish at Jodrell Bank in England and the 45M dish located on Stanford University property in Calif (visible from HWY 280 between San Jose and San Francisco).  Actually was part of an VHF/UHF EME team operating twice from the dish at Stanford Univ.

Both are impressive by their size.
