Tom's Trackside Trains

Western Pacific page

There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t see Tom wearing a WP shirt or hat. That says it all, and explains why he intends to maintain the best stock possible of WP engines and rolling stock.  We think it’s maybe he just likes the color orange.

If you want some explanation of why he and others are so big on this railroad, you might want to check out the Feather River Rail Society. Or visit the Portola Railroad Museum. Or come to the shop and spend all your money. You’d make Tom very happy if you did any or all of the above.
