It never ends . I rode motorcars with a guy named Kirkansky. Then Motorcar Operators West was formed . A safer more professional group of enthusiasts.Then PRO comes along an even safer more professional group. Narcoa the national group makes the motorcar operations even safer and still more professional.Each group snitching and backstabbing the other groups. After the little crossing incident in Oakdale Ca. i am surprised any motorcar anywhere would go through a crossing not protected with a flagmen . It's no wonder the two groups at Niles canyon can't get along .
