The Marshall
Just what you'd expect to see when you think about an old west Marshall....
While on the trip to the Grand Canyon I had an opportunity to talk with the Marshall for about 20 minutes (union break?) and found out he actually is a pretty interesting guy.
He goes by the nickname Dutch since he's an immigrant to the US from the Netherlands. He's a widower who has a 120 acre ranch that he runs by himself and he takes in abused and neglected wild mustangs. He told me he speaks 9 different languages which help him talk to tourists when he's playing the Marshall, something he's done for 9 years. He knows the Canyon real well and gave me a tip on where to get a shot that most people don't even notice.
For me, that was one of the best parts of this trip, getting to make a connection and learn a little bit about Dutch, the Marshall on the Grand Canyon Railway.
