Location DB > Canada > Ontario > Windsor > Windsor's Ghost Town > Scouting trip - Surface shots > DCP_1156.JPG 33 / 35   DCP_1156.JPG Description I was, am, and will always be tempted to flip this over and see if its one of those hand crank things the hobo's used. If so, perhaps a life of hobo'dom would be appealing. Until a Via rail train hits me doing 120km/h.

The metal strapping hardly looks strong enough to hold the wheels on. Posted by Decoy 8/21/2004 8:10 PM | remove   That and do you see any drive mechanism attatched to the wheels? It's probably a tow-car. Pulled along behind "put-puts" and handcars when they needed extra equipment to come along. Posted by danhooligan 3/16/2006 7:12 PM | remove   I doubt it's homemade...look at those brackets welded on to hold the wheels. Posted by Alien 12/1/2007 6:16 PM | remove   Yeah there's no way that it's homemade given the axle bearings look as if they were cast. The "strapping" is definitely not structural. This is probably a trailer for a speeder (a motorized little vehicle that were used before hi-rail trucks), and that strap is likely what's used to couple it to the speeder given the holes in either end of the "strap". It's probably still okay to use, but I wouldn't want to be on it when I see a VIA train or the railway police, lol.

Posted by rascon11 6/24/2010 9:28 PM | remove   Probably a "parts cart" for the RR crew in the area. Too small to be one of the trucks for those box cars and those wheels on it couldn't hold up to any sort of major load or speed. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
