Good morning Connecticut!

Was dry when I left the GF's house just before 5.
By the time I got to the shop to load the truck it's raining cats and dogs. (Tina is dry though)
Guess I have a day to work inside...

My wife and kids probably won't be coming so I can bring the ear protection my kids use if you want. Just let me know.

trackspeeder himself will need to chime in and give us the details. they both had onan engines in them (looked to be 2 cylinders) and they look really fun.


When I worked for the railroad up in Maine a whole group of people would come in from all over the US and would have an organized ride. We used to have a bunch of motor cars but moved over to hi rail pickups in the 80's and 90's. I haven't seen any of them around where I work now, but I see metro north still uses.

andy will definitely have his title before i do. mine was not mailed to me, it was mailed from Citi to Santander (now owns Citi), and has not arrived at Santander yet so they cant do anything for me until it arrives.

Those are a pair of Fairmont MT14's. Former Canadian National cars. They are powered with an Onan CCKB 20hp engine two speed tranny.

Those replaced the two stroke belt driven cars in the 70's.

Now the vehicle of choice is the Hy-Rail truck.

we found a way to get the truck registered without the title, and now that i was able to get a person at santander to help me i have release of lien paperwork. several dmv papers and some extra money later, i may be able to register the truck before it goes to the horse show this sunday.

i actually pulled it out of my parents house and am now on my way to glastonbury with it to make sure it will connect to the trailer and everything is wired properly for the lights and brakes. WOOO DRIVING MY TRUCK YAAAAAAAA!!!!
