It’s not The Beast, but this custom go-kart can go where others can’t. Preston Summerrow of Prestongoes built this kart specially to travel on the railroad that leads to the Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge on the south side of the Anza-Borrego Desert in California.

Railroader here. Okay so what i would recommend is getting wheels from an old hi rail truck or a push cart. Go to the local rail yard and ask around.

But id recommend something thats built specifically for that purpose,” said one commenter.
