It was built by the Pullman train car company, in Illinois
and in the below full size news article (click on it for full size) it says that it was abandoned in the antarctic due to it's being so heavy (37 tons and 55 feet long) that it immediately was stuck in and ice crevass. It's longest drive was from the factory near Chicago to the shipping docks in Boston... at 55 miles and hour
found on http://www.pullman-museum.org/cgi-bin/pvm/newGetSubjects.pl?subject=The%20Snow%20Cruiserfor more snow cruiser info and the video of it being unloaded and no surprise, it was too heavy fot the unloading ramp http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/antarctic-sno-cruiser-was-driven-to.html seems no one was really thinking in terms of how a 37 ton vehicle was to get around in a world not paved in concrete

Looks like a land train, with local fire department paint and letters, and here's why... It's the 1939 Sno Cruiser! Jo Schmo pointed me in the right direction https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEginh-zmo29S5NEYMUqVRtoh0DZX7-rZRBLsS08LYJ2puU0usn-MTxVGxrVZmeiagXa4LjKdbdh9iviHpU8tt_AfHM_4O6cXA9z4o-lqH5e6fsAPKltdY_vNAsTtVpBYqp8edzNgkcPlSE/s1600-h/snow-cruiser.jpg
I posted a cool color photo of it in December http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/arctic-or-antarctic-explorers.html possibly from a post by M Christian a year earlier, an awesome post! http://meinekleinefabrik.blogspot.com/2008/12/for-sale-by-owner.html
