When I was a kid I lived a half block from the tracks my friends Dad worked on the railroad and he would pick us up on the way back to yard on the speedy .the good old days

So much work has been done to rehalbilate the, Looks great!

[@vettebecker1]

Love the trip and the fact that the railroad is constantly expanding. Do you know if there are any plans to extend the line past where the current excursion turn around wye is currently?

[@beavercar]

My understanding is that their plan is to restore the track south towards Robertsdale.

Love it, very interesting video! - is that a museum or a work facility? Where is it?

[@bov634]

Is that CN speeder from the Newfoundland railroad?

[@beavercar]

CN Rail 140-48 built in Barre Canada in 1985 as a standard gauge speeder. Axles were replaced to narrow gauge the car, so don't believe it was ever on the Newfoundland railroad.

very original

[@jimfacinelli2585]

how does your speeder accommodate the narrow-gauge tracks vs standard?

[@johndemeen5575]

Way too noisy.

[@beavercar]

Many of the speeders are 2 stroke single cylinder engines. They don't have a muffler as it reduces the power output so they were built without a muffler.

I don’t claim to know much about speeders but some of them sound like they need work!
