The economy has collapsed. Among other things, all railroad travel has
ceased, leaving miles of unused tracks.
You and your companion wander the land, scrounging for odd jobs and
food.
But at least on your nomadic journeys you enjoy a gentle bobbing
sensation and scrolling vistas. That's
because you travel using a railroad
seesaw cart.
The railroad seesaw cart works by the same mechanism as an old
railroad hand cart, except the hand pump has been replaced by a
playground seesaw.

great great idea
does it have to function on rails? |
|
| |
This is a wonderful idea. (However it somehow
sounds vaguely familiar.) |

there are some cartoons that had their characters ride on normal seesaw carts as playground seesaw. ( I distinctly remember Pinky&Brain once doing it) |
