A draisine is a small, manual railway vehicle, often used for track inspection and maintenance. It is powered by people who push or pump handles to move it along the tracks. Draisines were once commonly used by railway workers to travel short distances on tracks, particularly in areas without locomotives. They are lightweight and simple in design, typically carrying one or two people. Though they have largely been replaced by motorized vehicles, draisines are still used for historical purposes or on some older railways, offering a nostalgic way to experience railway travel from the past.
