Packard had an early start with V12 engnes but the 1650 was not one of their designs,

The Packard V-1650 Merlin is a version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine, produced under license in the United States by the Packard Motor Car Company.

V12's have been used in many cars, I found trying to drive a Jaguar XJ 12 on the road very hard, straight line on a runway was a thrill.

And one of these.

I remember cleaning the shed out once and ended up with a pile of them. "Dad, why so many?"

Of course when I was a kid dad bought motor oil by the 55 gallon drum.
No garage, it was out in the yard.
Brought back great memories. Used the above to add diesel-fuel additives to the fleet's 18-wheeler saddle fuel tanks before I fueled them up. How about the hand-pump on the 55-gal oil drums that clockwise then counterclockwise to bring up the oil.

Are the rails decommissioned? If not is there a way to get an alert that a train is coming, other that the obvious ways like a horn or if the train is close enough the rails singing (if you can hear/ feel them on the bike.)
Yes the rails are decommissioned. Get caught riding one on active rails and I would expect a trespassing ticket.

No way the rails aren't decommissioned in fact I am pretty sure it would be illegal to to that on an active railroad.

I gonna go luckyduck on yall now.🤡🤡

We drove up Phantom Canyon road which was an old gold train route a couple weeks ago. We went to an old cemetery down by Cimmaron NM that went down an old track also.

There are quite a few out here, but most don't have track anymore. There is a long one that runs east west some Russian billionaire bought to run grain on. The Chinese were in the process of ripping it out to sell for scrap, when he went to court and forced its sale to him, based on a old law that you couldn't scrap train tracks if someone could use them. Or something like that. The Chinese company ripped out all the electronics and stuff to try to argue it was unusable. So now he can only run 30mph on it.

I wonder if he would let people ride. His rail, (not like dirtyD) it runs from eastern CO into Western KS. Supposedly he is real nice personable guy, according to his publicist. 🤣🤣 All I know is what I rmeber from an article anyway. 🤣🤣
