Dick Hershey has always had a fascination with trains.

 

In his younger years, Hershey's parents bought him a toy train set, and he spent hour upon hour building up the track in his room.

Those guys have been working for years ... they're good folks, doing good things, though I fear they'll never get the visitation they envision someday getting, because it's not an easy location to find, and to get there requires folks to drive through some fairly sketchy areas, which'll scare off a lot of suburbanites.  And it doesn't help that the building is in really sad shape, with likely structural and environmental issues.  But I hope they succeed!
