That would be a railroad handcar. I'm pretty sure they appeared in one or more of Keaton's films, The General being the obvious candidate. But not only that, Keaton's final film appearance in The Railrodder features him riding a motorised handcar across Canada and was promoted by the National Film Board of Canada.
A most satisfactory circle of relationships there!
