I would do this in a heartbeat! The scenery alone was breathtaking. Add the relaxing rhythm of the wheels and I’d be in heaven. Thank you for taking us with you.
The official name was Inspection Cars. The company was Fairmont Railway Motors, manufactured in Fairmont, Mn. The Hy-Rail units on the pickups were made by the same company. The Hy-Rail has been offered since the 1960's. They were also installed on 4 door sedans and station wagons along with trucks of various sizes. The last 4 door cars with Hy-Rails were an American Motors Matadors in 1975. On the Inspection Cars the original engines were the Fairmont engines, newer ones used Onan Engines, or for greater horsepower the Kohler 4-cylinder engines were used. The Hy=Rails were offered to be installed from 3/4 ton pickups (Model 0307) up to 15-ton Ford F750 or Chevy 7500's. Repair Trucks. They also manufactured Gang Cars, to haul work crews to a site. A4's equipped with English Ford 4-cylinder engines, or A6's and A8's with American Ford Inline 6-cylinder Engines. The very first Inspection Car built by "The Motors" was in 1903, when they married a Fairmont stationary single cylinder engine, used in rural areas and on farms to power many different pieces of equipment, to a 4-man Hand Pump Cart. Fairmont Railway Motors also produced a complete line of Maintenance of Way Equipment. They were bought out by Harsco Corp in 1980, and the entire operation was moved to Columbus, S.C. in the late 1990's, and merged with 2 other Maintenance of Way Equipment manufactures that Harsco purchased' Now known as Harsco Track Technologies. I worked at The Motors" in the 1970's and 80's, in the Service Division manning the "Red Phone". When it rang, that meant someone somewhere needed a repair part yesterday. It's great to see people who really love the older equipment and spend the time, money and effort to keep them on the rails.
How nice of Hank to share this experience with you ..a different kind of adventure for sure and what a wonderful way to see the countryside ... loved the river , the rockcut "canyon", the doe & fawn , the awesome power plant , and especially the little blue caboose.....guess I enjoyed it all ! Thanks for including us in the fun !
I have never seen, let alone heard of these little speeders!! They are the coolest thing ever and such a fun ride!! Thank you Hank and Lee for sharing and to JP for taking us for excursion!, 👍👍👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wow.. this sure looked like alot of fun..I would happily go for a ride in one if given the chance...Thanks for taking us along on this cool adventure JP!!!😁💙👍
Terrific video today thank you again and to the gentleman that let you ride with them I hope you get to ride with that fellow again and make a video. I'm 62 years young and I would ride if I had the chance. God bless you all.
I remember these speeders on the PGE (Pacific Great Eastern) railway in British Columbia, in the late 50's. I recall one night my mom took my sister and I to pick up my dad at the train station (he was returning home from Vancouver). We waited and waited, then finally saw the headlight of the train approaching and got out of the car to meet it. But...that headlight belonged to a little yellow putt-putt, so we had to go back and wait some more.
Boy, I never would have thought that was the way to turn them around, I learn something every day! Beautiful scenery, very enjoyable ride, I will watch this one every once in a while. I'm 78 and had a stroke (brain aneurism) so it will be new to me in a month or so. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for taking us on the ride with you, JP! Beautiful scenery! The Erie Lackawanna and the New Haven locomotives are currently in service delivering freight railcars to businesses along the Stourbridge Line, they interchange with the Delaware Lackawanna railroad along the Delaware River!
Hi JP 🖐🏼. THAT looks like A lot of fun. I would have loved to Ride along on the rails. They seem to be going pretty fast ‼️😃🖐️👍 😃 HAVE A Awesome Amazing Beautiful weekend ‼️.
Neat video, I worked while in university for cnr during the summer in the 1970s out of Capreol ontario . Most track work was done by the section and instead of speeders they were called gas cars. They operated on morning and afternoon lineup, was fun times.
I've seen the guy's who ran theirs on the abandoned pacific extension of the Milwaukee Road . 2000 miles of track left to rot ... just so the B.N Could corner the container business
Never in my life seen anything like those little cars how neat. How do those cars turn around to get back where they started? Its a awesome ride, I would do that in a heart beat no questions asked. I just saw how they got turned around, really something, my eyes bulged out off my head. That is an experience of life time, that looks so much fun. I would like the enclosed car just for safety purposes. Hide your camera so will not get wet.
Having worked on a Railway [as a trackman] and traveled the rails in all sorts of weird and whacky looking contraptions I must admit that I wish I owned one of these ... and 30 - 100km of disused / abandoned railway line. Not sure I would opt for the open air version if I could only have one ... and I would probably want a flat bed trailer to tow behind it to carry my shopping etc. Yeah ... dream on, right ! hehe thanks for sharing ...
what an experience it would be for my 93 year old body. I really enjoy these videos on railcars, I dont know if we have any here in Sacramento,Calif. Great video. 5-19-2023.
What a great experience, I would love to be able to do that one day. Looks like a nice bunch of people involved, and all those carts look fantastic. Thank you for the Post. Today is July 18th 2022.
This was great! Loved both (all) cars involved. Will try to watch to see if anyone in OKLA or our area does an event like this. Protect our heritage like this. Be safe. GOD BLESS
I never seen a speeder before and looks great fun riding the railway lines and lots to see.Also I thought it was good group people meeting up with there speeders and I enjoyed watching.
JPVideos You have so many beautiful and fun things to do in Pennsylvania - you have waterfalls and great hiking places , abandoned coal mines , abandoned rail lines as well as trains nearby - I am learning so much about your State thanks to the amazing videos you post up - thank you for all the work you do and the pleasure your videos give me and everyone else who watches your videos 😁👍💕
Absolutely awesome video, and yes I would love the opportunity or riding any one of the rail cars. I also want to say thank you to Hank for reaching out to you and to you for making this video.
Most fun ever!!! I think you had a permanent grin for most of the video, I know I did! I haven't enjoyed a ride this much since I took the No.9 on the Georgetown loop in Colorado, alot of really close stone walls on that trip, you could reach out an touch then they are that close. Thank you SOoooooo Much for this one it was A Maz Ing!! 🚃🚃🚃
Great channel, also this channel brings me back in time in the 1960s when I was a kid traveling by train was the way to go before buses took over mostly everything
This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid . This and a log ride in a Caboose . I miss those days when we would wave at the guys who rode in the caboose , and several times waving at Hobos sitting in a box car door as they went by . What a cool place they have there . We have a museum of Transportation near St.Louis that I've been going to since I was a child , love the railroad !
J . P., thank you. You made my day. Watching your video. Made me feel like. I was out of the house . Riding with you was a pleasure. I love the experience. seeing the beautiful countryside. Over and back. I love animals. Was glad to see the mama deer and fawn. I also want to give a shout out. And a thank you for you Gentleman. For taking J. P. On the wonderful ride. On your speeders. All of you Gentleman have a great day. J.P. the most fun I've had in a long time. Thanks again.
😊I am so happy for you that you got this opportunity to take a ride in something that you really enjoy isn't life wonderful you really deserve it thanks for the great video👍💙
I actually have a M9 exactly like the one shown by the man that was talking only mine is ran off peddling just like a bicycle. I run it up and down the main line CSX tracks and simply just lift it off the rails when a train is coming. I have it mounted with wooden poles that slide from the front and back so you can easily move it. If you've ever seen the old 50s or maybe 60s Canadian movie called "The Railrodder" with Buster Keaton then you've seen the same exact speeder before! Only his and these guy's have a gas powered motor on theirs and mine is simply rigged with bicycle peddle and gears...
Everything was great. Lived the scenery especially. Used to live around Olean NY. Trees, water, water, water lol. Now I live in NE WY. No trees. No water. Anyway, found this today and it looks like it was so much fun. So many questions tho. Stay safe, Vickie
As a youth in the 1950's living on a Boston and Maine RR Branch.We called them "Putt-Putts" Crews would drive them out to do track repairs.Towing rails and ties and hand tools.They could lift them off the rails and stop for lunch/breaks around a campfire. Wicked cool-changed to cab over Jeeps-end of the Putt-Putts.
I would love this even more than (gasp!) riding a rollercoaster....this is one of those videos where I just can't stop smiling the whole way through. What a magical experience! Oh man! JP, so happy you got to do this! 😆 and I'm so happy you could share with us. I saw a bunch these speeders one time when I was in western Montana. ..wasn't sure what they were, but I knew I wanted to ride one.
What a great Ride did you see any wildlife out there on the Railroad speeder. ... now that WOULD be and ultimate experience to ride something like that wow .....and going that fast .wow unbelievable... wow those speeders can really move ....wow that is amazing......thanks for taking us along with you and your new friends... and the rideing through the Rock wall that was truly amazing. What and ultimate experience wow i loved it ....and thank you Hank for taking Jp along...as well as Pete to ...
@@JPVideos81 i seen the momma deer and her fawn ..down by the river side and it was absolutely beautiful.. .and onec again THANKYOU for taking me along with you on your adventure on the Railroad speeders ....
Oh man...I want to do this! I'm going to check and see if any local clubs are active in my area! So cool you took us along...nice vintage Railroad cars and old locomotives! I love the F Units! My Best friend is a 30 year BNSF Engineer previously the Burlington Northern the Engines I run on my H.O. Scale layout! I tried to get a guest pass on his locomotive but due to insurance reasons its not allowed...
I've actually went adventuring at this one place. It's called France Park and it used to be a Italian community and an old quarry. It's now a campground has a ton of trails around both
Love your videos JP! I love yiur trai vidoes too. I'm an engineer for CP so its nice to see the tourist and short lines! If your ever in the Vancouver BC area, I'd love to show you around!
@@JPVideos81 I'm fascinated by how many short lines and tourist railroads as well as abandoned railroads are in your area. In southern British Columbia we have the Kettle Valley Railway trail which CP abandoned in 1989 its quite the scenic bike ride. Look up Ladner Creek Bridge and Myra Canyon just to get an idea
If I had the chance I would ride in one of those at the drop of a hat. The smallest "trains " my wife and I ever rode in was the old"Cape May Line", they were self contained electric cars that went from the Zoo at Cape May Court House. I am so happy for you and really appreciate the chance to take this trip, so to speak! Cheers, Rik Spector
How much fun was that experience for you. I would absolutely love to do just what you did. Going along in between the high walls was fantastic.fun....fun......fun👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did anything fly into your face or eye? Look like you were going so fast that it would have really stung if so. Fast enough to put an eye out. Now if you gonna buy one of those little train cars you will also get the helmet/shield too right? I see the other man had a shield and for everyday action I would probably get one too. God Bless. Be safe.
That's so cool. You get a view that people don't normally get to see. The engineers perspective. I wish l could buy that blue caboose and make a guest house out of it.
Jay that was awesome. I can definitely see you buying one of those and join that group. Beautiful scenery and the people fishing in the river was cool. Get one Jay you deserve it. 👍👊🚂
That was super awesome! You looked like you were having so much fun and what a wonderful experience for you! Great scenery! Beautiful seeing the mama deer and baby too! Glad it didn't rain on you! Cool video! Thank you JP!
This was awesome... I felt like I was there with you. FUN WOW and if you ever get one and I'm still alive (lol) I want to come and ride it as the oldest person to ride one!!~ Once again Awesome Jay Thank-you thank-you thank-you!!!
Awesome. You should see what its like on a 15,000 ton coal train 2 miles long. I was a conductor and its stress city on a real freight train. This looks more fun.
If given the opportunity, would you take a ride or even own one of your own?
Maybe both if I knew how to drive one
Heck yea!
Of course I would I use too ride with daddy when I was able to. When he worked for the railroad
Hecka yeah!
Oh yes for sure I would take a ride.
I would do this in a heartbeat! The scenery alone was breathtaking. Add the relaxing rhythm of the wheels and I’d be in heaven. Thank you for taking us with you.

So much to see on a unique form of transportation.
Wow...the scenery is stunning! What a great day out and an excellent way to travel!
If I was younger (84 years old now) it would be a dream to ride one! You are the lucky one to have done that and in such a beautiful state (mostly).
I have never seen, let alone heard of these little speeders!! They are the coolest thing ever and such a fun ride!! Thank you Hank and Lee for sharing and to JP for taking us for excursion!, 👍👍👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙💙💙💙
😉
My sister and I remember them from the early 1960s in Quesnel, BC. We called them “putt-puts.”
This was a totally awesome ride. Thanks for taking us along.
My pleasure
That was fantastic! I am a fan of railroads and trains as well. I wish I could have been there. Great scenery and photography! More please.
Thanks richie
Wow.. this sure looked like alot of fun..I would happily go for a ride in one if given the chance...Thanks for taking us along on this cool adventure JP!!!😁💙👍

Very enjoyable experience
This was a great experience! Really enjoyed the two different rides, and the scenery! I'm sure the night ride would have been just as amazing.
Would be so awesome to ride at night.
Yeah not being able to see anything would be awesome.
@@al4385 So, you ride cars at night without headlights?
I like how you jumped right in to film Hank and buddy heft their speeder around 180 degrees. LOL!
Haha
It only takes one person. No help needed.
I remember these speeders on the PGE (Pacific Great Eastern) railway in British Columbia, in the late 50's.

A speeder group once came though my area on the Lehigh Line several years back. Wish it would happen again because I would love to see it.
IF I COULD HAVE, I'D PUT 10 THUMBS UP. YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE IN YOUR GLORY
BECAUSE OF YOU, I LOVE AND RESPECT VINTAGE TRAINS
GREAT VIDEO 💙💙
Awww thank you. That means a lot. In my glory in an understatement lol.
Would have been funny if old Al whipped open that cooler and said you want a beer.
Boy, I never would have thought that was the way to turn them around, I learn something every day! Beautiful scenery, very enjoyable ride, I will watch this one every once in a while. I'm 78 and had a stroke (brain aneurism) so it will be new to me in a month or so. Thanks for taking us along.

Que buena aventura, revivir los caminos que antes transitaban las grandes locomotoras y las grandes compañías ferroviarias.Saludos desde México!!!!
Did anything fly into your face or eye? Look like you were going so fast that it would have really stung if so. Fast enough to put an eye out. Now if you gonna buy one of those little train cars you will also get the helmet/shield too right? I see the other man had a shield and for everyday action I would probably get one too. God Bless. Be safe.
The shield was for "covid". It's pretty much the same as riding on a motorcycle. Occasional bug or two never hurt anyone.
Thanks Jay, Hank, Al could not ask for more beautiful scenery
My brother has a Fairmont speeder..it's so much fun!!
That's so cool. You get a view that people don't normally get to see. The engineers perspective. I wish l could buy that blue caboose and make a guest house out of it.
That conrail caboose was a suprising find.
They used them early in my career for track inspection, too.
Oh! I would love to do that! That looks like a blast! Thank's for sharing JP!
Such a fun experience
The scenery is so beautiful.
I agree
Jay that was awesome. I can definitely see you buying one of those and join that group. Beautiful scenery and the people fishing in the river was cool. Get one Jay you deserve it. 👍👊🚂
Thanks David 👍
That was super awesome! You looked like you were having so much fun and what a wonderful experience for you! Great scenery! Beautiful seeing the mama deer and baby too! Glad it didn't rain on you! Cool video! Thank you JP!
Was an amazing and memorable experience.
This is a fantastic video! A ride on one would be a dream come true!
This was awesome... I felt like I was there with you. FUN WOW and if you ever get one and I'm still alive (lol) I want to come and ride it as the oldest person to ride one!!~ Once again Awesome Jay Thank-you thank-you thank-you!!!
🤗💙
Awesome. You should see what its like on a 15,000 ton coal train 2 miles long. I was a conductor and its stress city on a real freight train. This looks more fun.
A lot less responsibility operating or riding in one of these haha
