Though the name of the Roadside Attraction is Railroad Jigger, not too sure this is the correct term. After some research they are usually referred as a "Speeder".

On the engine is the name Fairmont, made by the Fairmount Gas Engine and Railway Motor Car Company, who began production in 1911.

This one was mostly likely a two man speeder that was gasoline powered. The doors were replaced with plywood and the grab handles are missing.

A decal on one of the doors: Pacific Great Eastern RLY most likely is not original, though very interesting.
Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
