Handcar

A handcar is a railroad car powered by its passengers. A typical design consists of an arm that pivots, seesaw-like, on a base, which the passengers alternately push up and pull down to move the car. Handcar enthusiasts organize races between handcars driven by five person teams (one to push the car from a halt, four to pump the lever).
