Not really rail related but our club was invited to an operating session by a neighboring club. Outside on the street, they were having a car show and I saw this gorgeous beast. Its pristine condition brought back memories of my younger days.
Sweet jesus look at that BEATIFUL charger! Any information on the motor? 330,383,426 or 440 sitting under the hood?
Along the same theme, here's an ancient (1941) Lima locomotive which transported many passengers on the Southern Pacific Daylight runs, plus a hot rod Buick convertible which starred as the chase car in one of 4449's videos, and a tricked out Mustang, much newer. My kinds of transportation. These were grouped together at the annual "Cruisin' Sherwood" car show in Sherwood, OR, June 14.
My thoughts exactly NSFan14. I believe it had a 383 in there. The paint job was fresh out of the shop on Friday. The interior was original and immaculate. However, the suspension was totally redone with modern components so it handles as nice in the twisties as it accelerates in a straight line.
Bourne RR Bridge, Bicycle / Foot Trail and Cape Cod Canal I have lived in Massachusetts for over 30 years and this is the first time I have been to the canal though I have been over it many times. Alas no trains or freighters.
Hemi -Edit: From this site: Cape Cod Canal, Canal Story, Army Corps of Engineers, US Army No, not really as the eventually responsibility for the widening and straitening of the canal was taken over by the Army Corp of Engineers and where the bike path is now the above mentioned RR would not have been. My understanding is that the main export using the Providence and Worcester RR from Cape Cod is trash which is taken to a furnace where it is burned to create electricty.
