Thanks for visiting and talking about our museum! I am a motorman here and there’s honestly no other place I’d rather be. Art and the team made so much progress these last few years. Hope you stop by again soon!

Well done Nick!!! There’s a lost railroad called the Washington and Waynesburg RR with a 2-6-0 # 4 and a 26 window passenger coach similar to the EBT miner coaches. Plans are to eventually evaluate the mogul for a 1472. Sadly they only have one passenger car and could use more to profit revenue. From 9th Street colleague Nicholas Medovich

I was there at the museum not too long ago. Pretty neat setup, though I do wish they would allocate more time to actually seeing the artifacts. It felt really rushed when we went.

No video? Not even a picture of the person you're talking to? I'm a member and qualified operator of 40+ years and enjoy every minute.

As a one-person production, I unfortunately don't always have the manpower to conduct interviews on camera (hence this being a podcast episode). I'm glad you enjoyed the interview anyway.
