Gallery ar rails manual#
It's a low and minimalist rail car, similar to those operated by a manual lever, the handcar, but with a couple of seats on top and powered by yours truly. Considering tours will span the summer of 2023, from May 25 through Labor Day, September, there's quite a range of weather you can experience.Īs for what you'll be riding, I've described the contraption already. It sounds like you'll be getting a workout, too, so be sure to dress accordingly.
Be it a private and intimate ride for two, or larger groups, all these cars are to be peddled to and from the end of the track for a total of nearly six miles. Once you've arrived in Grawn, Michigan, you'll be greeted by the railway car you've reserved for your group. Best of all, this privately owned piece of railway is also accompanied by a tour guide spitting out facts about the state and some of the local history. It's on such a segment of track that Wheels on rails operate, so don't worry about ending up on YouTube in some " Fail" video. Over the ages, some of these lines have proven obsolete and even shut down. If we consider the massive network of rails and bolts that make up America's cargo-delivering system, then the answer is basically right there. So, what are we in for? Well, quite a lot, actually, and it all starts with the railroad. Coupled with a background working for the Department of Transportation, something like this was bound to happen. Wheels on Rails was founded by none other than Macie Hefron, a lover of the outdoors, cycling, and railroads. Let's see what folks visiting America's automotive manufacturing state can embark upon. Did I mention that the whole dang contraption is operated by nothing more than some bicycle pedals? Yes, people, the images you see in the gallery are genuine, and the adventure is even more so. Now add a sort of train wagon that's built from nothing but tiny steel wheels, a steel frame, and a couple of seats, and that's what you'll be able to ride later this summer. Folks, I want you to imagine some railroad tracks.
