DIR Handcar - Duluth & Iron Range |
| Description: |
Although a fuzzy pic, this little handcar was the original way that crew members could travel to inspect the rail lines. Some call these units "strong arm cars" as you would surely develop some arm bulges after using it! |

| Title: |
DIR RR Velocipede - Duluth & Iron Range |
| Description: |
Another form of transit for rr workers would have been this velocipede which is nothing more than a bicycle fitted to travel on the rails. this particular version would have used arm power rather than leg power to move the unit down the tracks. Again, some would call it a "strong arm car" for obvious reasons. |
