The Cambodia natives use a local patchwork of railways to get around the countryside using lightweight speeders to move themselves and their produce. The railway system is being rebuilt by Toll railways and the locals may find themselves being booted off soon. The only parrelel to this in the US was the Androndac Railway where campers buit railbikes to get to their campsites in upstate NY
That is why there are Train Dispatchers on real railroads.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

"Androndac Railway"--do you mean the Adirondack Railway?

Camp owners in Beaver River still use hi-rail vehicles for access to the area. They are NORAC qualified. The section of track they use is currently out of service and they access it on permission of the track supervisor, who holds the OOS.

Thanks, Larry. I believe you gave a better description of the personal transportation.
I looked at some of the comments appended to the video, and saw that some people comprehended the method used in meets--and others thought it to be ridiculous to lift one car off the track instead of simply reversing both. There were good explantions given as to why the practice is expedient.
I wonder how it is determined which car has the right-of-way. Could it be an agreement that one direction always takes precedent?

In the Vid Clip - there were 2 cars going one direction and only 1 going the other way. The single car direction gave way.

But when two single cars meet?
Not sure who maintains the tracks over there but somebody must.
