speeder is powered by a 1-cylinder, 12-horsepower gasoline engine. |

| Volunteer
Richard Fowler donated Miss Daisy to MATA in complete, but not operable condition. |
| •
| Our
crews repaired, refurbished and dressed up the speeder's appearance. |

| A
muffler was added to silence the unacceptably noisy engine. |
| •
| Safety
lights and appliances were also added so the car could be used in city streets. |

| Used
with a welder trailer and a rail grinder trailer, Miss Daisy enables us to perform
minor rail repairs on the M-Line tracks |
