this little train is called the parry people mover . [View all]

ony a hand full of these machines were built and they still run where they live . the owner of the company had died and the company went shut years ago wikipedia article below the train runs on a route of 1 mile . this is a eggscllent use of a machine where a loco and cars worked the line before , but were not justifiable . there are 2 i operation and 2 in storage for parts . i heard that another firm is picking up the concept and running with it on other branch lines in england. ive seen other interesting machines fill in a neeed when traditional rail quit running. i ran ito this vid years ago. i feel other places in the wourld could benifit from such a machine .
