Rob 'SignalMan Bo' Bougard RIP

Friends,
It is my sad duty to report the passing of Rob 'SignalMan Bo' Bougard. He lost his courageous battle with cancer last night at age 58, taken from us far too soon.

He will forever be with us at the junction maintaining the signals that guard the safety of the trains and the train crews.

Here's wishing you a safe trip, Bo.
