Just be like, "stop"

[BuckarooBanzai]

On the off chance that someone here has actually taken a joyride on the rails, I figured this should at least add some variety to alternative transportation

A friend and I have been intending to build a party wagon in the vein of this since last summer, but never seem to get our ducks in a row. We aim to make it pedal powered swan boat style out of an old go kart with a cooler in the back. Hopefully we'll pull through this year!

Looks like fun - until you meet the Acela express coming the other way :-)

No problem there - just be like, "stop".

Stop? I think it'd do a bit better than that - as in suddenly going 80 mph the other way. Or maybe just splat! :-)

A friends parents have one of these & go on excursions/trips with a group. So somehow you can ride on the rails.

These guys have swan boats, pirate ships downsized, flamingos, and yes- even ducks!

There are some unused lines up in VT I've heard people do this on.

Seems like fun, until you meet someone else doing the same thing
