On Tuesday, UNMC and NHS employees tried their hand at riding a handcar — in a UNMC parking lot.
The handcar and temporary railroad track were brought to campus Tuesday as part the Golden Spike Invitational Handcar Race, which will be Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. near the Durham Western Heritage Museum. The handcar invitational is being sponsored by Union Pacific Railroad and benefits the Ronald McDonald House and Special Olympics.
Anyone interested in organizing a five-person team for this weekend’s handcar race should call 346-9377 for more information.
