    If you are like me there is only 1 use for rail road track, which is to cut up into small pieces to be used for small anvils or ballast to keep bodies on the bottom of a lake or ocean
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Bicycles, handcars, and even motorcycles have been used for decades by railroads. I am curious besides the "outriggers" that engage the opposite rail, what keeps the tires on top of the rail.

    Use yes, abuse no.

    Good one! Note the use of the Scumbag Steve hat on the bicyclist.

    Bicyclists are mostly guilt-ridden millenials so maybe this approach will make them respect laws...
