Griffin Bourassa possesses many traits of a typical 15 year old boy, but there is one facet of his life that is not normal. Griffin knows just about everything there is to know about railroads. However, he's not your normal model railroad enthusiast. Griffin is the conductor on a real railroad called the Maine Narrow Gauge. And when he's not shining his black shoes or pressing his uniform, you'll find him taking care of passengers, ensuring their safety and thinking on his feet as the conductor. This 15 year old's dream is to work for Amtrak someday. In the meantime, he's living in the moment and gaining the experience and skills to handle the stressful moments of a real locomotive. If you're not convinced of this boy wonder, make your way down to the Maine Narrow Gauge and listen for the conductor's customary departure call, "All Aboard!"
