"Chase car"? "Chase car"?? Are you sure we're not talking silver screen???
But, joking apart, this appears to be a highly colloquial term used for a rail vehicle, or perhaps even a road-railer, sent out to search for rail faults, maybe as the result of a track-circuit failure or similar incident. These two are definitely rail-bound vehicles, but I think they are probably the nearest to what you want. I don't know, but it may be that in Canada road-railers would often be used because of the enormous distances involved. Where road-railers are used in Europe would normally be at sites of actual work on the track, and not going out looking for faults.
