9/18/1992 Negley, Ohio. The young fellow with me (and my best helper) is now the chief mechanical officer for the Heber Valley Railroad and has made parts for many steam locomotives operating today. He is an expert on steam and was a crew member on the Final Spike Steam Tour of the Royal Hudson from Calgary to Mexico City.
