Young Pecatonica Boy Becomes Trainman at Twelve
Twelve year old Joey Moth dreams of railroading and acts as a conductor in his Pecatonica garage museum. He displays thousands of railroad artifacts, hosts visitors, and plans to buy a depot and miles of track. His mother notes he has ridden with crews and even worked a switch engine, while he considers quitting school to focus on railroading.
