A railfan and a great photographer in his own right, I met Alex at the fan favorite above, The Fullerton Train Museum in Southern California. Join me in this private conversation on YouTube LIVE to discuss the museum's new acquisition, the car's restoration process and safety prep protocol - and much more. Get your questions ready and I'll ask what I can. This private, YouTube Live Stream experience will be uninterrupted and ad free.

More on Otto:
Otto Vondrak is a life-long train enthusiast who caught the bug when his dad started taking him on frequent train trips to New York City to visit him at work. His interests in art and graphic design were later focused at Rochester Institute of Technology, and a career in print production, advertising, and marketing eventually led to joining the staff of Railfan & Railroad magazine — which just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. Otto is also editor of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine, a publication dedicated to fine scale models that celebrated its 90th anniversary last year. He is also involved in historic railway preservation as an active volunteer at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum in upstate New York.

As I'm sure you've noticed, I wear cowboy boots in nearly every episode.Perhaps you fancy a pair or can see some new boots on someone you know? I used to fly out to Montana about six times a year to put on my dancing boots for a client, and am a fan of Ariat's new Yellowstone line of cowboy boots and apparel. Click on the image above to check out their boots (if a purchase is made, I will receive a commission that supports our Train Talk with Lisa episodes and community)
