Haven't been to the Train Shop in a long time since we moved here to Prunedale in '99---but do recall him from our visits there. The son of one of our physicians at my Kaiser medical center was David (I think that's the first name) Crane and he worked there for quite awhile. His father Jeff Crane (native of PA) was a major major railfan,modeler, Boy Scout train enthusiast and his uncle or grand uncle was named, I think, White and was president of the Pensy complete with private railcar which nephew Jeff recalled.
