Rail Rodder

==Description==
The Rail Rodder is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Larry Wood that debuted in 1996. It is an extreme quad-engined hot rod designed to resemble an old-fashioned 4-4-0 American-type steam locomotive, most likely a Baldwin 8-18C, with its exhaust pipes combining to form a smokestack.
According to an Instagram comment made by designer Kevin Cao this casting has been retired.
