Velocipede Testing

Buzz Morisette writes:

We had the velocipede out on Wednesday, as cold as it was, for just some quick photos. Took it up and back on the trolley tracks on Central Avenue. The strange character in the bowler hat caught the attention of the masons working on the Multi-Purpose Building.

We need to eventually put it on clean straight railroad track to set the outrigger stop.


I think I have now worked on both the largest and smallest rolling stock in the IRM collection.





 The historic photo is from the Indiana Album and Collection taken around 1905 in Peru, Ind.



Ed.: This is really historic preservation at its finest.  Congratulations to Buzz on a job well done!
