Does anyone recognize what this is, more important what it does??

Using Google translate I translated the text but it provides no insights.

Seems pretty straightforward -- it's a switchman's shanty for protection from the Russian winter weather and summer mosquitoes. You'd find it at a branch or yard junction, most likely. It'd do for a crossing guard shanty as well.

It appears you can adjust the distance from the track and the elevation of the building using the parameters shown. Interesting.

:B~)

The author made this and others as track objects and as static buildings. The buildings are great for a track side structure but this one, as an actual track object seems to have a bunch of scripting attached to it, all compiled so I can't see what it does
