Speeder ride on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad in Humboldt

I recently got the pleasure to ride on one of the last THA crew speeder rides for this season on the historic Northwestern Pacific Railroad along the Humboldt Bay on September 24th, 2022. "The Arcata and Mad River Railroad Crew Speeder car is a restored maintenance of way vehicle that traveled along the railways in Korbel." It was a fantastic ~half an hour both ways trip that only cost $8, which also goes to a great cause. I would highly recommend taking opportunity to experience this piece of living history if you get the chance, they also have a fantastic Timber Heritage Museum at Samoa with a impressive collection of trains and cars from the historic Northwestern Pacific Railroad here in Humboldt County.

Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated by us. We were absolutely delighted to be able to share in this experience.

Funny they are called speeders but not going very fast. How many people crammed on that speeder? sounds like a crowd?

Always amazes me how people will continue to talk over a narrative during a tour like this!

Riding on a two man pumper cart....perhaps an 8hp Briggs.

I wonder what engine number that was that got away?? Did human hands pull the throttle after it built up steam?? I wonder these things??? Must be an answer somewhere!!!

What's with all the conversations in the background?! Is it a railcart train with multiple cars/carts?!

The story is boring. Lets see some action.

Some rude girls yaking away can't shutup and listen why are they there ?
