miyakoji Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My Spanish is not very good, but this is a vehicle, looking something like an armored VW Beetle, is used to explore abandoned rail lines. The group that built it is Mexican. Based on some of the photos, it's not just a plan, they actually do use it. Seems like it could attract some unwanted attention, but perhaps in the countries where they're operating, it's not such a problem. http://www.ivanpuig.net/seft.html http://www.seft1.net/ 2 Link to comment
Bernard Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The second scene is absolutely beautiful! I've always wondered this when I see construction vehicles adapted to be put on the rails......doesn't it wear down on the rubber tires and quickly? Link to comment
Mr Frosty Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thats cool. Reminds me of these home made rail riders. Check out this site for a really good DIY railroad adventure. http://wrybread.com/hobo/ 2 Link to comment
