This week we will say goodbye to one of the finest we know: Mr. Tom Farence. Tommy was a Milwaukee Road man, as Dad was, and the Farence family was always near and dear to us as we grew up. He was a great rail, great photographer and an all around amazing guy with such an innate knowledge of railroading. The stories he could tell would keep you captivated for hours. This photo, taken back in May of 2013 describes Tom all too well: all smiles, elated to be on the property and usually found with a camera around his neck. God speed, Tommy - you know we love ya man, and miss you just the same.
