The track crew should check out the forum so they could get their ballasting right.Too messy for my rr.

But they ARE using rail of appropriate height.  Nicely rusted, too.

Saw something similar on the Kiso Forest Railway during my modeling era.  Only one bike, though, with a sidecar-like basket on one side.  (Not much room when the rails are 30 inches apart.)

 Either the track wokers are going green, or someone got tired of going on "boring" bike rides with the wife.
