Motor Car. I always heard that a speeder was a unit used to get miners in and out of mines...mostly coal mines.

I had never heard a railroad motor car called a speeder until recent years. Pop car was a term used by railfans and tourists.

OK, that my 3 cents worth

By the way Jeff....THANKS for posting those. I hate to admit it, but I do recognize some of those locations
