I worked with Tom (Ironbar Tom) Shreve for 10 years at Roaring Camp. He truly held the place together for a long time. Fun to work with and lots of stories.
He knows those engines and that RR inside and out. He loves Shays and his opinions on Heislers is legendary. He believes that Charles L. Heisler will not be allowed into heaven until he has personally apologized to every person who had to work on one of them.

Congratulations Tom, that is a record in tourist railroading that may never be beaten.
