Fairmont Speeder

Charlotte, NC. 2025
Camp North End

I had never seen anything like this before.  The vehicle is a motorized successor to the classic railroad hand carts and is known as a Fairmont Speeder.  The were used to move along railroad tracks to allow the tracks to be inspected.

  1. There is a club of people who own these Service Cars and mostly run them on a one mile loop of track at Prairie Village in Madison, SD. They are railroad buffs.
