1. A portable apparatus for configuring a wheel associated with a track in a remote location, the wheel being configured in accordance with a profile, the apparatus being in a fixed position with respect to a rail associated with the track when in operation, the apparatus comprising: a tool configured to engage the wheel;a positioning system for positioning the tool in at least two axes; anda computer control coupled to control the positioning system, wherein the positioning system is controlled so that the wheel is configured in accordance with a profile, wherein the positioning system comprises:a compound slide system, wherein the computer control controls the compound slide system, the computer control storing the profile, wherein the compound slide system includes a first motor and a second motor, the first motor for adjusting position in an X axis and the second motor for adjusting position in a Y axis, wherein the profile is a standard profile of a standard flange profile or a narrow flange profile. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an interface for attaching to a stable foundation. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the interface attaches to the rail associated with the train track, the train track being the stable foundation. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tool is a lathe cutting tool. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the compound slide system is releasably attachable to the rail. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the computer control receives at least four positions associated with the wheel. 7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the at least four positions include at least one of a top of a flange of the wheel, an outer edge of the wheel, a first tread position of the wheel, and a second tread riding position. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the tool is a high grade carbide lathe cutting tool. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising: a motor for engaging the wheel. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the motor is engaged via a bolt and sprocket or via a friction drive. 11. A portable cutting system for profiling a wheel while attached to a railcar or locomotive on a track in a remote location, the system comprising: means for attaching the portable cutting system to at least a portion of the track; andmeans for profiling the wheel in accordance with a stored profile in the portable cutting system, wherein the cutting system includes a compound slide system for positioning a cutting tool in at least two axes and a computer control for controlling the compound slide system, the computer control storing the profile, wherein the compound slide system includes a first motor and a second motor, the first motor for adjusting position in an X axis and the second motor for adjusting position in a Y axis. 12. A portable cutting system for profiling a wheel while attached to a railcar or locomotive on a track, the system comprising: means for attaching the portable cutting system to at least a portion of the track; andmeans for profiling the wheel in accordance with a stored profile in the portable cutting system, wherein the wheel is rotated using a motor associated with the locomotive. 13. A portable cutting system for profiling a wheel while attached to a railcar or locomotive on a track in a remote location, the system comprising: means for attaching the portable cutting system to at least a portion of the track; andmeans for profiling the wheel in accordance with a stored profile in the portable cutting system, wherein the profile is a standard profile of a standard flange profile or a narrow flange profile. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the cutting system includes a compound slide system for positioning a cutting tool in at least two axes and a computer control for controlling the compound slide system, the computer control storing the profile. 15. The system of claim 14 wherein the compound slide system includes a first motor and a second motor, the first motor for adjusting position in an X axis and the second motor for adjusting position in a Y axis. 16. A portable system for profiling a wheel in accordance with an electronically stored profile, the wheel being associated with a train in the field, the system comprising: a cutting tool configured to engage the wheel;a positioning system for positioning the cutting tool;a control for controlling the positioning system, wherein the positioning system is controlled so that the wheel is shaped in accordance with the profile; anda location bar for placement along an edge of a track associated with the train. 17. The system of claim 16 wherein the control is a computer controller. 18. The system of claim 16 wherein the positioning system is coupled to a mounting mechanism for engaging a track associated with the train. 19. The system of claim 17 wherein the cutting tool includes an insert. 20. The system of claim 11 further comprising a location bar for placement along an edge of a track associated with the train.
