In the mid 1870s George S. Sheffield, a Michigan farmer, invented and patented a three-wheeled railroad hand-car propelled by a combination of hand and foot power. Twenty years later a man from Kalamazoo, Michigan came up with what he thought was a better idea. I suspect the railways were not as enthusiastic.
