From the Real Rails to the Model Tracks

This week, Bill welcomes new club member Mike Voisine to On the Track: Myrtle Beach. Before joining the world of model railroading, Mike was a real-life railroad conductor for the Vermont Railroad. He shares how he first got into the hobby, what drew him to railroading, and the path that led him from full-size trains to miniature ones. Mike gives us an inside look at the training process, the routes he worked, his day-to-day responsibilities, and what it was like working alongside a real train crew. It’s a fascinating conversation that bridges the gap between authentic railroad experience and model railroading passion. All Aboard!
