Hello Krzysztof,
I think this little vehicle was used for inspections of the tracks. One man could use the main handle to start it and control the speed. This one is more beautiful than older ones I have seen (and once used as a teenager, without permission!) in Sweden. It's perfect for a colour photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Czesc Sasiedzie,
Widze ze Pavle juz uzyl slowa drezyna, widocznie po serbsku jest tak samo jak po polsku.
Mnie ta technologia jakos przyniosla na mysl rosyjski poziom zaawansowania.
Przede wszystkim jednak na uwage zasluguja tu kolory. Wszystko swietnie zadbane i zaprezentowane, bardzo ladne miejsce, swietne tez chyba dla dzieci.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hi Krzysztof

We used to have these in Qld, but I haven't seen one for decades. Good perspective and sharpness with nice colour contrasts between the blue handle and red trim and brick building. Tfs!

Hi Krzysztof,

The point of view is showing the details of the moving dolley rail car. It clear and sharp. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

Hi Chris,I know very well what it is and how it works, I remember it in a 60's comic film where a chase was organized for thieves using this medium, it's nice to see that they still exist, perfect capture as always. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Krzysztof,
A really cool photo of this railway vehicle. Its blue and red details are very eye-catching, just as the orange parts of the carriage in the background. Well captured from a good angle.

Hello Krzysztof,
I've seen this vehicle in Cambodia on a railway where no trains run anymore.
There it had been given a new tourist destination. Tourists could take a seat on another very small wooden carriage that was coupled to it and thus make smaller trips on the tracks. However, I didn't.
Beautiful wagon that we see here behind it.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Krzysztof,
Original view and presentation with your question ... well photographed, perfect rendering, sharpness and colors. Like Gert I think it's for workers and inspection of the tracks ... Tfs.

I remember this machine from the american movies from the past, even in the comics there was some of them. I never saw one in front of me.

Hello Krzysztof,
I love the colors. I know what it is, in Turkish, we call it "degovil," it is used by railroad workers to transport themselves on the tracks by pumping those handles.
