Autor

Wallace W. Abbey (1927-2014) spent his career as a railroad journalist and public relations executive, primarily in the Upper Midwest. His combined writing and photographic skills documented well the dynamic railroad landscape from the 1940s through the 1980s. Although Wally never worked for the Santa Fe, it was his favorite railroad, in part because of its 100-class diesel-electrics. Martha Abbey Miller inherited from her father, Wally Abbey, a love of both railroads and the written word. Following a career in communications management, she is a writer, editor, dramatist, and the author of several nonfiction books. Martha is a member of the board of directors of Haiti Healthcare Partners. She lives in Prescott, Arizona. Kevin P. Keefe is a Milwaukee-based journalist, former editor and publisher of Trains magazine, and author of Twelve Twenty-five: The Life and Times of a Steam Locomotive, winner of a 2017 Notable Book Award from the Library of Michigan. Kevin continues to write for railroad publications and is also a member of the board of directors of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art.
