Coaster 2103 leads Will Ayers Memorial Train at Campo

On the 8th day of April, 2023, friends and family gather to celebrate the life of Will Ayers. It was only appropriate to celebrate with the locomotive he grew up with, his favorite locomotive type, the type he would operate at his time at ACE (Altamont Corridor Express). Coaster 2103 with a killer K5LA. One that he would for sure love. A train ride and evening full of laughs, recounting memories, and more with family and close friends including myself.
A huge shoutout to Evan, Greg, Stephen, PSRM (Pacific Southwest Railway Museum) and all who were involved for making this all possible.

To my buddy in heaven, you'll truly be missed. Till we meet again, you'll be with me in spirit at my usual spot at my local ACE station. High green my friend.

Being able to work with Will, it was great to see how much he loved being an engineer and that he cherished every minute of it. He will be greatly missed! He is very much missed by all of us here at Herzog/ACE in Stockton!
