Tri-State’s First President

An Evening with Mike Wikman

Our December 8th meeting will feature a digital visit from Tri-State first president, Mike Wikman. Now aged 88, he had hired out on the Lackawanna in 1955 as a towerman and soon landed in engine service. From there, his railroad career went to the EL, CNJ, Amtrak and a host of shortlines as either a manager or consultant. In 1979 he was the engineer on the Amtrak train that traversed the Cut-off from Port Morris to Scranton. He, Ray Storey and Tom Taber the elder helped form Tri-State in 1964. Mike has been everywhere and has a vivid memory, and he carried a camera. We're in for a treat, and a reunion. Today he lives in San Antonio.
