== Bio: ==
David McGuire was the original founder of the North Valley Shortline Railroad, along with Lucas Eaton. He served as the Mountain Top yardmaster and the railroad's chairman until early 1980. He treats his locomotives like a 2nd family, and tried making them get along as best as he can. He also tries to treat them all equally right.
Sometime in April 1980, he caught a hard disease that quickly dwindled his health. He officially retired as the railroad's chairman in July 1980, and gave control to Lucas Eaton for a short time, which eventually would go to his son. He died on September 12th, 1980 in his home. Out of respect, the NVS runs an excursion every September called the McGuire Excursion, a train which Ashley always pulls. (Because Ashley was David McGuire's favorite locomotive) 
== Trivia: ==
