Some people claim they were also called "Gandy Dancers", but this is inaccurate. Gandy was a large company that made outdoor tools including shovels - the Gandy Shovel. Since section (track) gangs used shovels quite often and many railroads bought shovels from Gandy, it became a slang name for track gangs, Gandy Dancers. But a hand cart was always just hand cart.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/agriculture-degree.htm"> Derail</a> It is called a “hand cart”.
