Steam & Excursion > Newest Donation at the Eldon Depot Museum

Not quite sure which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance.

Last month, I was the Eldon Depot Museum at Eldon, Iowa ( http://www.eldondepotmuseum.org/ ). They'd just received this speeder as their latest donation. I didn't get the full story of where exactly it came from, but it was donated by one member's old track gang. They don't have a lot of track to run it on, but they are open to the idea of taking it somewhere to show it off. Any resources for looking into running a speeder that can be posted here or by using the contact information on their website would be appreciated.

I believe that’s called a “Railrod”. It’s designed to be easily disassembled & removed from the track once you get to the worksite out on the line.

About 5 years ago a Portland (OR) rail materials dealer asked me if I had any leads on new wheels for a railrod.
He had an inquire from the the Army for a set. He never told me which part of the Army was asking.
