Bill Metzger? Who's That Guy?
Bill's been telling stories - and loving railroads and bicycles - since he was in short pants.
Wait a minute - he's STILL in short pants - and riding his handcycle along the Passage. But we digress - which is something you'll find happens on occasion in any of Bill's writings.
Still, meandering is half the fun and Bill's been doing that for a good long time, too. From early days on the (rail)road escorting big freight stuff safely to its destinations, to making maps and brochures for the Allegheny Trail Alliance and other trail-building and community groups in Pittsburgh and environs, to his present life as Contributing Illustrator for Trains and Classic Trains magazines, Bill's long been ready with a story, a joke, a "little known fact hardly worth knowing."
He and wife Pam are happy to bring you this latest edition of the popular Great Allegheny Passage Companion - with thanks to all who've made the trail and the book possible. And to Tom Kraemer for this great photo of Fast Willie himself scooting down the trail near Ramcat.
