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!

Rail Runner Rucksack Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this be used as a carry-on bag for flying?

No, the Rail Runner (4036 cubic inches / 66 liters) exceeds carry-on size requirements and must be checked. For carry-on options, consider the C-Ruck or Roadster Mini Ruck, which have similar designs.

2. Can I order the Rail Runner in midnight blue or other colors?

No, the 1050 ballistic nylon used for Railroad Bags is only available in black.

3. Why does it take so many days to build and ship my Rail Runner Rucksack?

Each Rail Runner is handcrafted on a "first order in, first order out" basis. More details about supply chain issues can be found here.

4. What's the difference between the Rail Runner, the C-Ruck, and the Roadster Mini Ruck?

The Rail Runner is constructed with 1050-weight Ballistic Nylon, our toughest fabric, making it ideal for railroader use and harsh rail yard conditions. The C-Ruck and Roadster Mini Ruck are built with lighter designs.

5. What is Ballistic Nylon?

Ballistic nylon is a thick, tough synthetic fabric initially developed by DuPont for WWII flak jackets to protect airmen from debris and fragmentation during artillery impacts. It is highly durable, resistant to hard use, and effectively hides stains like dirt, grease, and oil.

Yes, the Rail Runner is specifically designed for railroader essentials:

The GCOR rulebook or tablet fits in the front raised pocket.

The radio and lantern fit in the raised side pockets.

The Rail Runner has a special slide pocket inside the front raised pocket that accommodates laptops up to 15 inches.

8. Are there any interior pockets or dividers?

No, the Rail Runner does not include interior pockets or dividers. For better organization, use accessories like the Nomad Toiletry Kit, Lil Roy Gadget Bag, or Tri-fold Toiletry Bag.
