Get Out and Push Railroad
[edit]
The G.O.P. R.R. in 1887
- ... that the Get Out and Push Railroad (pictured) required passengers to help its trains over the steeper bits of the route? Source: "the little engine was a very primative affair. It was so constructed that it had to be started with a metal bar... It ran fairly well on level ground, but on a rise it was apt to stop entirely till the male passengers got out and applied the iron bar with considerable force" [1]

Cute, really cute. AGF that the "Paddy Duffy's Cart" tune you refer to is the Oldie-but-goodie from Ireland. Nomination passes. — Maile (talk) 20:19, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
