Yes, on the BLUE UNIT, which is currently in Texas. TIM HOLAN was the Trainmaster on the Red Unit, which is now in California, however I'm informed he has settled down by "running away FROM the Circus," as show-people would say. I presume the RED UNIT is the show they might (still???) be looking for hiring for that position. Tim had been with the show - as TRAINMASTER for most of that time - since 1977. He deserves a break!

Here are some LINKS to webpages about RBBB Trainmasters Gene Pettus and Tim Holan:

(Gene was also talked about in the TRAINS Magazine feature article about the RBBB trains, published early last year.)

On Tim Holan, from Carl Morrison's Anaheim, California website (2003):

(More articles on them can be found by typing their names on the "Google.com" Search Engine.)
