THE JIGGER ** PART 1 ** Stratford, Ontario - 1994

PART 1 of 3

VIEWER WARNING

***This just may be the biggest waste of your time watching this video***

However, we've been wanting this in a digital format for years and with decaying VHS tapes taking up room in closets, it was time to bring it to light . . . so apologies for the less that stellar quality of video/audio, but this was 1994 . . . just ahead of the dawn of digital with its megapixels and HD.

The year was 1994, in the Fall, and a new daily commuter project was in the works to enable travel throughout Ontario on abandoned rail tracks. The prototype, aka "The Jigger", was constructed in a secret garage on Princess Street in Stratford, Ontario and painted orange (typical CN colours) to off-set any suspicion from local authorities . . .

With our ramshackle sleigh loaded along with some beverages . . . we set out for the first (and last) trial run of "The Jigger".

This is the "infamous" rumoured lost tape from that voyage that has yet to be seen in public . . . until now!

what a junk.....i hope the train won,t hit that

[OvationStratford]

@47bern abandoned rail line, and yes, it was a piece of junk with the idea of not spending anything on it

Too funny! Must have been fun doing it though! It may have worked better if you had the power to the wheels rather than air power....just a thought. You still have this thing?

[OvationStratford]

that info is highly classified . . . however the engine was a leftover from another project and we felt the air power was the way to go . . . that and not wanting to expend too much more time and effort into directing that to the wheels!
