DESCRIPTION
DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SHORTER TRIP RAIL RIDERS.
Get ready for the shorter runs. Here's a bag railroaders can carry on their shoulders; a tough as nails rucksack. The Rail Runner Railroad Rucksack is designed with everything our rail conductors and train engineers have been asking for.
WE HEARD THE LONE QUILLER IN THE DARKNESS.
The new Rail Runner has plenty of pockets. Toss your pencils and pens in the top lid "stuff" pocket. There's also a flat slip pocket on the raised front pocket. This raised front pocket is a perfect location for the GCOR rulebook or tablet. Easy to get to when you need it. There's a laptop notebook or tablet slip pocket in the same front pocket for easy access to your computer, too.
Hoist your Rail Runner through the narrow engine door by the comfortable clear rubber Euro handle.
THE PERFECT SIZE FOR WARMER WEATHER.
With the arrival of warmer weather, it's time to ditch the heavy coveralls and travel light again. Loading up the Rail Runner, you can organize your personal stuff, carry your laptop notebook safely inside your bag, load your summer gear, and still have room for the required typical lamp, radio and GCOR rulebook or tablet.
COMFORT AND STRENGTH.
Upgraded durable Uni-Suede padded articulating shoulder straps for carry comfort cinch down with Mil-Spec A.L.I.C.E. hardware. As usual, every stress point is double box stitched for your peace of mind. Just like our famous Railroad Grip, the Rail Runner is hand-built in our factory in Billings, Montana. It still comes with our famous no questions asked "No Bull" Lifetime Warranty.
Made with tough 1050 wt Ballistic Nylon materials (available in Ballistic Black only). Now you can ride the summertime Red Oxx Hi-Ball on the roll by!

What is Ballistic Nylon?
Ballistic nylon is a thick, tough, synthetic nylon fabric used for a variety of applications. Ballistic nylon was originally developed by the DuPont corporation as a material for flak jackets to be worn by World War II airmen. The term ballistic nylon takes its name from the fact that it was intended to protect its wearers from flying debris and fragmentation caused by artillery shell impacts. This is a special grade heavier weight nylon fabric that can handle hard use and the black color helps hide dirt, oil and grease stains.
