ICE 4205,4208 Northbound, Davis Jct IL. April 15, 2008
On the left is Tom Fitzgerald.. on the right Mitch Garman. Both original RSW men from '68. Toms dad Patty Fitz was an RSW condr also. These two guys worked together on and off their entire career in Beloit, Rockford, Ladd, Savanna, Milw both east and west, Amtrak and Metra. Even booming on the D&I. True hard core working milw men. They could switch cars, run thru freight, locals, sprint trains, passenger and jump in any card game to win the pot. Fitz was always in charge, Mitch followed. Perfect team. I was fortunate enough to work together with them exclusive their last 12yrs. There was nothing we couldn't do man. you know the days.. just like WC.. it was OUR railroad.
