LIRR ran four of these little hirail VW Transporters back in the 1960's -- basically for less cost and hassle than a Fairmount Speeder and just as good on gas...

Came equipped with a homemade pintle jack turntable for fast U-turns! Seemingly the track maintenance crews, who called themselves the Cockney slang "Gandy Dancers" lovingly called this versatile little Volkswagen Transporter a "Gandyvvagen"
