Travelling the rails of Mexico in a 'spacecraft'

I wonder if that "spacecraft" is bullet proof.

That's great Nicole. Thanks for the card. We ate here last night to finish off my day. Don

Very cool! Thanks for posting this.

Interesting story. I sometimes wonder if something similar would happen if, God forbid, the U.S. Government dropped Amtrak.

Here is video of the "Space ship". It's really amazing. Don

THANKS for sharing that sociological rail exploration! 

 

QUESTION: When will MTH make a model of their vehicle? 

"Esperanza", means "hope".  (the small group pictured behind an apparent station sign) With maybe an "extinct" volcano looming in the background, and no way out of Dodge, I would say they were fresh out.

Thanks for posting this.   The video is great.

Here's another "abandoned" railway--one used to deliver mail between post offices in London.

 

Only it wasn't dismantled--Royal Mail mothballed the 6-mile system of 7' diameter tunnels and the scaled-down battery/electric train that traversed them. A historical organization is trying to raise funds to turn part of the system into a museum, with passenger rides through the old tunnels.

Another wonderful find. Thanks for posting.

Really cool.

 

1. Wonder if it has A/C.

2. Wonder how it would be getting insurance for it. 

I was thinking about posting this to the Forum, but you beat me to it.  

I have to wonder why they just didn't install the hi rail equipment on an old pickup truck, but hey, they're having fun!

Hi Nicole

    Thanks for sharing this story & video about the brothers building a motorized train car. They explored the abandon rails of Mexico for about a year. I like how they used the vehicle for camping and watching the stars at night from the back of the vehicle.

LOL….
If it is Kevlar Coated they would only have to worry about Drug Cartels,
criminal gangs, people smugglers, kidnappers and corrupt officials.

I think public transportation would be safer…



Good Story…Thanks for posting.

K.C.

Guys, I wonder if any of you have encountered a similar problem in exploring www.seft1.net as I have? My I pad doesn't seem to want to go past the opening page! Mike Maurice

Guys and Gals, What do you think of TGPHE as a tongue-in-cheek name for this line? (The Great Past Hobo Explorer)! You know me by now, I couldn't resist this one! Mike Maurice
