Whenever someone finds out that I work at the M&E, they always ask me how I got interested in working for a railroad. I guess it's kind of fate that I ended up at the M&E, because most of my childhood railroad memories were there....
Here's me in December of 1992 with my dad in Whippany. I'm a whopping two years old, decked out in my engineer's cap, and there's good old M&E #18 rolling around behind me. Photo by my mom.
And then here I am again (on the left), this time at age six in Altoona, PA. It's Railfest in October of 1996, and M&E #20 has yet to even be delivered to the M&E. I'm in awe at that shiny paint! Photo by my dad.
And here I am again on June 11, 2012 (age 21), touching up the paint on the lettering on M&E #19. Photo by Steve (forum member mandealco).
And so my M&E saga continues!
