About this listen

 I became fascinated by trains as a young’un when I saw my first steam locomotive and train being used on a movie set in Inglewood, CA. I have worked on 4 railroads for over 40 years and I have a lot of stories to tell. Trains would always be a part of my life, even after I retired as an Amtrak Engineer in 1994. I have also worked on the tech side in live theater for more than 20 year, most of them with my wife, Susi who is the actress. I will be sharing these stories with you as well every so often.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

    Many people watch the Rose Parade on TV and we know that a lot of work goes into this event. Most people don't know that there is an active railroad track that goes right across the parade route.

    16 All Aboard The Polar Express!
    Dec 21 2025

    Tommy and Susi volunteered for almost 20 years at Railtown in Jamestown, California. For five of those years, they worked on the Polar Express, Tommy as a conductor and Susi as the Hobo. It made for long, exhausting days, but it was worth every minute.

    Today, they share memories together of the time they spent putting this epic event together. Dad, of course must tell all the technical details, while mom and I want to share our memories of the fun times!
