Great Northern and Burlington Northern Inspired Me to Become a Railroad Artist

As a boy, I saw Great Northern box cars on freight trains as they traveled through my hometown of Davis, California. At my local hobby store, I bought a postcard of the Great Northern Empire Builder crossing Marias Pass. My dad said, "Someday we will go there." That led to many summer trips to the Izaak Walton Inn in Essex, Montana, where I fell in love with watching Burlington Northern trains and decided to become a railroad artist.
