Mark, that is a fantastic job you did on that. How lucky to find that and then be able to buy it and restore it. You did a tremendous job on it. I'd sure love to ride in it some time, that would be a blast. When I was real little, my dad was a signal maintainer for the SP (early to middle 50's) and he had his own speeder. He mainly worked on the north line out of El Paso, Texas (yes I still call it the Armpit of Texas). He would go out pretty early in the morning and sometimes when he was on the way home, he would stop and call my mom and she would take me out to Plainport just north of town and wait for him, he would stop and pick me up and I would ride the rest of the way into town with him back to the signal shop and she would meet us. I think you will really enjoy going out and riding around. How cool that will be.
