It was not the blast of a train’s horn or the clickety clack of an engine hauling cars down the tracks that made Collin Wilson, 19, into a train enthusiast.
It was a TV show he watched as a toddler that made him a certified fan of trains.
Today, Wilson is a certified train conductor working for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
A train named Thomas started it all.
“One day, when I was really young, I was sitting at home watching TV and Thomas the Tank Engine popped up, and then from there on, it just took off,” Wilson said.
