This crew is equipped with a single culinder Fairmont engine. It is linked to tha axle by a leather flat belt. It is easily differentiated from the other speeders by the long toolboxes along both sides of the car. It is painted red-orange. The car is aptly named as it has been the fastest car on the railroad until the "Fairmont" was restored. The car was restored in the late 1990's and was first displayed at the 1997 and 1998 Fall Spectacular. In 2005 the car started providing paid rides to visitors to the railroad, running alont the restored Track 3, the Coach track and south along the freshly cleared mainline trackage to the south of the yard.
