Turning a Quad rail bike in Saranac |
| Description: |
After all the rail bikes have finished a run, they are inspected and then turned around on this combination lift and turntable. The rail bikes are heavy enough that you wouldn't want to do this by hand. I tried lifting a tandem rail bike at the front axle, and couldn't get it off the railhead. I'm estimating they weigh around 300-400 lbs each. |

Tandem Rail Bike |
| Description: |
Disc brakes on each axle (operated from the "engineer's" seat on the right). Adjustable seats / each seat can pedal, but the pedals are ratcheted like a bicycle, so you can coast without the pedals turning. There's a foot plate, a basket for your stow-along stuff, and an umbrella. Flanged wheels are steel / tubular frame is steel. |

Across a boggy section |
| Description: |
typical of the spectacular and wild scenery along this route. Note that the main roadbed of the track is cinder ballast, but there are some spots up ahead where they added crushed rock; presumably to fill in some minor wash-outs. |
