railroad inspection cars and special back plate rims so regular vehicles could ride on the rails easier
0 comments Posted by st at 3:16 PM That is pretty smart, as long as the car has exactly the right width of a footprint between the tires
The above is a Lincoln model L, a more luxurious railcar than most
pedal powered rail inspection car... the exercise it would take to push this 100 pound rail riding machine would be a lot... consider that bicycles are talked about in ounces... and that's because of the energy it requires ot keep them moving for long distances
a very early track car, that has a good size spot light and bell
another mobile turntable to get inspection cars turned around for the trip home. ( This summer I learned they couldn't make the trip in reverse in the case they didn't drive far enough to find a rail house with a full size turntable, because (of course) the radiator has to be ahead of the car in the direction of travel to correctly cool the engine)
