Hauling Passengers *PIC*

Who needs a passenger car? Just load the railfans in a dump car and haul them around! Unloading's really easy at the end of the run, just dump...

IRM now charges its visitors extra for the privilege of having a real seat to sit on. The people in the photo are just some of the cheapskates who refuse to pay this extra fare.

Next up, we're planning to experiment with toll sidewalks....

We've often joked about a "side dump open car" to speed unloading times, but that's the first one I've seen in actual operation! :)

And if revenue slows down enough that you can't pay the utility bills, you can always push your patrons around in an old trolley bus...
