Took the train ride in May 2023. We sat in the open side car and enjoyed every minute of the ride. You see one side going up and the other side going down. Well worth the cost.
You need to join a national speeder organization, take a rules test, buy liability insurance, and buy a speeder. Take a look at www.narcoa.org for more information.
I would have guessed narrow gauge speeders to be a real oddball item (and I was unaware that the CN ever had any narrow gauge trackage). Or is the gauge on speeders field adjustable?
The speeder was built in 1985 as a standard gage speeder, purchased from CN around 2005 and converted to narrow gauge. All that was needed was new axles and some additional welding. Not easily to convert back to standard gage.
Nope! I was the car in front of Dave and right behind the pair. I just kept my distance and she kept an eye on me. Once the land between the track and river widened they ambled into the woods. They're fine.
