Thanks for the update on the further extension of the track clearing program - I hadn't heard that yet.

Very true - and during the spectaculars I am one of them! I usually can be found on the M-1 as conductor during our trips. I have also crewed on the diesel locomotive powered trips as conductor or brakeman as needed.
I also agree with your invitation to come & ride the speeders when in operation. I had my ex-EBT speeder (that I restored) there for those trips during the Fall Spectacular this year. The FEBT are to be commended for their excellent work of revitalizing the EBT shops and equipment.
