No worries Rich. My motor car was not involved in this incident, I was merely a invited guest of the speeder owner whom got nailed by the friendly SP police officer.
Three of us on the speeder were cited for trespassing on railorad property and for unlawfully operating a motor vehicle on a railroad right of way. We were fined accordingly, and told not to come back. I never did, but the motor car owner I was with had property adjacent to the out of service branch, and I was told he continued to ride after our incident.
I later became friends with the SP special agent who stopped us, and he recently passed away. We had many good laughs about the encounter, years after it was history!
