The People of the Willamette & Pacific, V. 2
Author: roustabout

Volume 2 of "The People of the Willamette & Pacific:" Tony. A. W. Mogytych was WPRR's marketing director and was the President and GM of the Portland & Western when it started up in 1995. My best memory of him, besides having an unpronounceable/unspellable last name, was during my newbie-conductor classes in 1996, where he ran the switch engine while we learned how to conduct ourselves.

No, He was just posing so he'd look good on the company calendar. Tony was very personable

Neat shot. And I love that Rock Island map on the wall back there. That tells me that maybe he was a fan of RR history...
