“Several reasons, really...

The name, “Night Train” is my way of paying homage to the every-day, hard-working, Americans that built this country. When I think about trains, I can’t help but to think of the Transcontinental Railroad and what that meant for the growth of our country - it created so much opportunity in those "fly-over" states like Nebraska. It was a time when National confidence was high… and this country sure could use a little more of that these days.

“The next reason has to do with my mentality. The song, “Nighttrain”, by Guns and Roses is significant because of my past. As a former linebacker, I’d listen to the song, Nighttrain before every football game, right before I’d walk out of the tunnel and onto the football field. To me, the song signified my relentless pursuit of achieving my goals, despite any adversity - letting no one stand in my way.”

The third reason is because the song, “Night Train” by Jason Aldean, happens to be one of my wife’s favorite songs. She says hearing that song brings back memories of an extraordinary time in our lives. We lived in Franklin, Tennessee and it was the beginning of our “empty nest years”. The name, “Night Train” is something we actually both agree upon.

It also occurred to me that most Nebraskans I know either grew up with or still hear the horns of the Night Trains in the middle of the night and I'd be hard pressed to find someone that hasn't had to wait on those frustrating, slow moving trains - especially when you're in a hurry.

Finally, and this is pretty simple - trains connect us, much like people and memories.”
