Speeder Car Rides from 2009.

The Beaver-Lawrence Railway Historical Society joined in the Darlington Days celebration in Darlington, PA on May 31 & June 1, 2008. The highlight of our participation was the opportunity to ride our Fairmont
speeder car.

Flagman Dan Devic stops traffic as the speeder passes over the grade crossing.

The speeder departs for another of its 1/2 mile round trips.
 

A happy passenger disembarks while others anxiously wait to board.

A 1953 or 1954 Chevy that is all original - what a find!

A 1950's Chevy Pickup that is all original in Red & White 6 cylinders.

A Fire Truck that was built for WWII (WW2) that was supposed to be on a carrier but the war ended & it never got to the carrier.

Since the war ended, it was sold to a steel mill instead. I believe it was ARMCO Steel Co. in Ambridge, Pa. if I can remember right. By the 60's, it was just sitting there in the mill. By the late 70's, the mill was on it's last legs, so a employee asked for it and was told to get it out of there. He has since restored it, and this is how it looks today. He told us that this is all original the equipment on it. Amazing after all of these years.
