Long, cold run for E 282 out to Brownsville.  Might have been E 283.

John you are showing your age "long, cold run" shades of the back step. Now the men are nice and warm out of the wind and snow.

And AC on those HOT days.

 

[johnd248]

Quite right; I spent too many years riding the back step.  I can remember those cold winter nights.

my worst ride on the back step was in 281 when  relocated to 318, Neptune Ave was like a wash board I don't think I ever bounced that much  in my life. Even in the tiller of our 1979 Seagrave.

While not a "back step", most interesting ride was on the side running board of a 1940's-ish spare sometime around June 1969.
Every bump and pothole and felt throughout the bones
