Title: Rail vehicle pulled by dogs. Post by: broadgage on April 07, 2023, 17:05:55 In Nome, Alaska, over 100 years ago.

In the UK use of dogs to haul carts or wagons on public roads has been prohibited for many years, largely on animal welfare grounds. Still allowed on private property though, which would include most railways.
