It is bittersweet how one small gesture can not only bring comfort to his family, friends, and fellow railroaders, but also make us all step back and appreciate everything around us.

You're Union Pacific's go-to guy for company pictures. You've published at least one book of your own photos. Yet I do declare that those successes pale in comparison to the value of the images in this article. As a survivor of four car wrecks in my long life, two of which involved fatalities (and two of which occurred just a quarter mile from a KCS track!), I assure you I don't take NUTHIN for granted. My sincere condolences to the Bigler family. Ken, you’ve won train photography contests out the wahzoo, including the most prestigious (more than once).

Isn't it amazing how God plants people in positions to serve others, even when we aren't aware of it? You were able to do something very special for Nicole and her children. Thank you for answering God's nudge. A beautiful tribute to a well-loved family man. Isn’t it amazing how God plants people in positions to serve others, even when we aren’t aware of it?

I can assure you the pictures are greatly appreciated, for I have seen duplicates on Facebook since they were shared. The only positive is Isaiah is now spending quality time with his sister that lost her life to an accident as well, 4 months ago. We love and will miss you "Hi-C". RIP and enjoy our sacred home we call Heaven.....until we get there.
