Yes they are, you pull them out the back and you can lift the car up just like a wheelbarrow. Until I put a turntable on the car, that is how I turned it.

I love flying!
I started the process to getting licensed and just never finished.
I wanted to go to helicopter pilot school in the early 2000s when I worked for Columbia Helicopters.

Every year a group of track speeder owners come here to Walla Walla and run the rails.

For me it's my pen and ink art work, it's quite no noise. Not to many artist do it anymore kind of a lost art people want photos.

Two of my brothers and three cousins all worked on the section gangs on the Soo Line many years ago. Any time one asked them where they were going they would respond, "hell on a hand car, want to help pump". I think they shot more ruffled grouse off the speeders in the fall than most of us did hunting hard.
