Mexican artists and brothers Ivan Puig and Andrés Padilla Domene decided to traverse the nearly 9,000 km of railway in Mexico and Ecuador that, in 1995, was abandoned and left to decay […] in a striking silver road-rail vehicle called SEFT-1, which they designed and built themselves

A nice example of appropriating infrastructure for critical ends.
