Handcar/hi

Handcar is a work train used to quickly traverse distances via rail. It needs to be unlocked first in order to become available to the driver. To unlock it, the driver must buy a key to a special garage in one of the shops, find the garage and open it.

The handcar can be summoned using the comms radio, for free. The handcar cannot be damaged and it doesn't have service costs.

Handcar is propelled by manually pumping the arm up and down in rhythmic fashion, and features a simple hand-operated mechanical brake.
