That guy riding the "caboose" needs to learn the proper way to get on and off moving equipment before he gets himself killed.

Yeah, he didn't step with his lead foot in the direction of travel, did he.

The Darjeeling railroad has a few loops like that and I've seen them modeled.

The Morenci Southern, in SE Arizona was a copper mining narrow gauge railroad and was known as the corkscrew.

If you think about it, for a mining railroad, digging tunnels isn’t exactly a huge problem.

Actually he did, that's the problem.  He should have put his trailing foot down first.

There's a prototype for everything.
If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable.
