I was riding my bike today on the WOW Trail and saw a "parade" of what appeared to be small, maintenance type of trains. Did anyone else see it? Is it a club or something? What are they called? There was probably 30 of them. It was a very cool thing to see.

Mostly these started out as refurbished track maintenance carts now used by recreational clubs. More info if you Google track maintenance carts. The carts were used to inspect track and to transport repair crews. They could be removed from the track by the crew when a full train needed to pass through.

There is a picture of them on I boat on Winnipesaukee Facebook page. They look kind of neat.
