Amazing NG rail vehicles outside NZ bush
| April 04, 2019 08:01AM |
Chris Walker has been posting some incredible rail vehicles and motive power in the New Zealand logging operations. But that is not the only place where strange and wonderful contraptions have shown up. So I will post a few from Bolivia, which is about as remote from New Zealand bush as one can get.
Jim Hutzler in a sub-compact cruiser in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 1978. The operator may have ignored warnings about following too close at some previous time
Here are even more economical transportation options, certainly not lacking in opportunities for exercise and fresh air for passengers and crew
For the more comfort minded there is a remote cousin of the Galloping Goose
Finally, if you traveling with a group of friends, there are those larger accomodations for both passengers and freight
