Amazing variety of unusual railcars from Steampunkvehicles tumblr

Why he's riding a big wheel / pennytfarthing on rails is anyone's guess... but I'm guessing he was a SOB to work for
There has to be a reason for the strange design angle of the steam engine, I'm going to guess it was for big uphill angles so the heat exchanger tubes would be level

Railcar with it's own portable turntable so it doesn't overheat from driving backwards long distance.... as the radiator needs the airflow to keep the engine cool. I just learned this from Johnny at Steampunk vehicles! It explains why so many inspection cars (real cars) riding the rails are double headed. This actually wasn't clear when I looked at a lot of double headed carsall of these are from http://http//steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com which has an incredible variety of all things old and steam powered

Model A's may be the most versatile vehicle ever made, nothing else was a delivery truck, railcar, firetruck, racecar... infinite variety

I'm thrown... Never seen a cross between a conestoga and a Ford

another cool motorcycle riding the rails

Found on http://thenewcaferacersociety.blogspot.com/ but originally from http://gunter-spb.livejournal.com/1057966.html

This is a great scratch built cycle rail car, but my favorite is still the Indian I posted http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/coolest-thing-well-see-all-week-indian.html

Great photo of a neglected passenger car from the Pennsylvania line

Kiev subway construction railcars... that's a new variation I've never come across

Makes sense that the easiest way to get concrete into the subway where you need it is with a mixer truck... but I'd never thought about it..

great railcars (why a bus was made into a rail car is a mystery) found on the HAMB

I've never heard of a school bus being made into a railcar... I'd love to hear why this happened

All those labels under these posts, and in the long column (about 1000) are there to help me, and you, find the stuff you are looking for. They sure help me find the things I recall having posted before, so I can add photos like these to the posts I want them in, or want to let you know where you can find similar things.

Very unusual railcars, not from the USA, and quite old. A Robur and a Tatra

Wood rims, now that is old!

Can anyone identify this vehicle by year or manufacturer for Travis at the Santa Fe Super Chief website?

I am trying to find some information about a inspection car that Santa Fe used in Richmond. I found a picture of it in a Santa Fe book but it says nothing about the year or what kind of vehicle it was.
Thanks so much.
