| Built
by the Fairmont Company of Fairmont, Minnesota around the turn of the 20th Century.
Cars of this type were widely used by railways all over the world for track
inspection. |
|
| Our
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. |
