These days, however, DuVal limits his involvement to volunteering as a conductor. He said he usually goes up to volunteer about three or four weekends every summer. As conductor, DuVal collects the passengers' tickets. He's even called upon to take pictures of the tourists who ride the train. DuVal's home is located in Ash Park Historic District, which is near the railroad tracks.
Some residents find the constant noise of the trains that go by to be a nuisance.
But not DuVal. We didn't buy ths house because it was close to the railroad tracks.
