form follows function. That's kinda nice if you ask me. I wouldn't call it a 'train' in the traditional sense, but it does solve a problem.

Does he have a cousin 'rube'?

Hope he does not live in snow country

I'm thinking that the rack he installed down at ground level will get clogged with dirt and leaves by the end of the week.

Maybe he can put a battery powered leaf blower on it to keep the rack clear?

Add a charging socket at one end so that it self charges like an i-robot vacuum
