saveitforparts | My Best Abandoned Railroad Vehicle Yet! @saveitforparts | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
After building a variety of klunky, slow, and fragile railroad vehicles out of trash, I finally have one that works reliably and is fairly fast! This one is a pump car modeled on antique railroad inspection vehicles. It uses human power to get up to almost 10mph, or about as fast as my earlier electric railroad cart.
Please note that all the railroad tracks shown here are abandoned, disused, and disconnected from any active lines. There's no physical connection between any of these rails and a working railroad. They've been abandoned for at least a decade, and some of the tracks have already become part of public parks and bike trails. The rest will probably be ripped up soon. Still, I have to recommend you don't try this at home!
Thanks again to railriders.net for the wheels, they work way better than anything I've been able to make myself!
