Default Re: Railroad Inspection Car

I too have done some time with speeders and hi-rails.
I used to work for a couple of tourist railroads. Besides working in operations I did track inspection and was the pilot when the local speeder club showed up for a tour over our lines. The speeders were the company's, the hi-rail was mine.
The speeders didn't have model A engines but they were Ford 4's. (173's)
Running the hi-rail all over the NW on privately owned track was probably the most fun I ever had with my clothes on.
