Fairmont Speeder |
| Description: |
This is what I will spend 88 miles riding tomorrow with site contributor Craig Meador ( http://cmeador.rrpicturearchives.net ) and the owner Tom Pruitt of Poplar Bluff. This was at Casey's General Store on the east side of town, getting lots of odd looks. This would be my first rodeo when it comes to these rigs! This run took place on the COLT Railroad (Columbia Terminal, municipally owned, here's their website: http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/WaterandLight/COLT/ ). We had 17 cars before lunch, 12 afterwards. I'd like to extend a special thanks to the COLT, First Iowa Division (http://www.firstiowadivision.com ),Narcoa ( http://www.narcoa.org ), Christian Johanningmeier, Tom, Craig, and everybody else who helped make this happen for me and everybody else, now that I've given out the props, lets get started! |

Wheel |
| Description: |
I took this shot of the wheel by leaning out and over (holding onto the rear reinforcing bars) at about 25 mph as we clicked off the 22 miles from Columbia to Centralia. |

Down to 12 |
| Description: |
We had 4 riders go home at lunch. They were throwing the switch to the set off track and you had to point which direction you wanted to go, which was really cool, lol. At this time we went over and ate our lunch that we packed. |

Southern Pacific Speeder |
| Description: |
I liked this little Fairmont, something really cool is that the default image name off my camera was 100_4449, 4449 is perhaps the most famous SP steamer of all time. I also really like the IC motorcar behind it, which is like a small bus. |

Here's the museum as we were open for Mayfest. I was lucky to get a photo with nobody in the way, it was a constant stream of people with over 300 visitors! |
