== Bio: ==
Taylor is a confident worker, who is often seen working the various freight operations, like woodchip and coal deliveries. He's often seen working with Ken on these trains. Once in a while, he's seen working as a switcher. 
Along with Ken, he was bought by North Valley in 1984 due to the increase in coal traffic and the new contracts with the then new woodchip mill. He arrived operational and quickly went to service. 
Taylor is generally friendly who always does things with a smile. He loves seeing railfans, and enjoys giving out horn shows. He's very chatty and loves talking with others, and sharing stories of his days with Santa Fe. He generally enjoys holding conversations with his friends, especially Ken and Marie.
