Leah co-owns The Station Inn Bed & Breakfast in Cresson, PA with her husband J. Alex Lang. Leah’s passion lies in connecting people and “making the invisible visible.” Her love for The Station Inn is centered around the inn’s unique ability to bring people together and the vast rail-centered community it has generated over the past 30 years. In her professional life, Leah leads Partnerships & Corporate Engagement for EDUCAUSE, a non-profit association for higher education technology professionals. Supporting the rail industry’s professional pipeline through connection and education with NGR is a perfect alignment of Leah’s “super powers” and passions.

Rudy is an accomplished railroad historian, researcher, author, and publisher. As a 2012 honors graduate of Moravian College's history program, Garbely also studied historical methods and preservation at the National Museum of Industrial History and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania as part of his formal education. He spent the first six years of his professional career working in the railroad industry, gaining valuable insight and experience while holding mechanical, operating, and marketing positions.

Garbely founded The Garbely Publishing Company in 2012. He has since written over a dozen critically acclaimed books on railroad history and has published over 40 additional railroad books for other authors. Garbely’s company serves as the marketing and website contractor for over 30 railroad preservation organizations throughout the northeast.

Outside of his contracted services, Garbely and his wife, Carolyn Hoffman, are extremely involved as volunteers for several non-profit railroad organizations near their home in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania and in the surrounding region. Besides his work with NGR, Garbely currently serves as president of TOYX, treasurer of the Delaware & Hudson Railway Historical Society, and senior advisor for The Conrail Historical Society.

Glenn’s passion for trains and railroading have brought him in many directions. Glenn is perhaps most known for his work in prototype Lego train modeling, having been seriously involved in the hobby for over 17 years. Within Lego trains, Glenn has been involved in multiple community movements including websites, online communities, and awards programs, and several personal endeavours including producing instructions and kits for his original designs. The problem solving skill set developed from the hobby led Glenn to graduate York College of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. He has thoroughly enjoyed working in the rail industry ever since.

Glenn joined the rail preservation scene in 2020, volunteering with the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum assisting with public tours. He began delivering his own original tour program in 2021, hiring on part-time at the beginning of the 2022 season, and continuing to guide tours and assist with events as much as possible. Glenn joined the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society in 2023 and has assisted with restoration work, served as a car host, and most recently as Passenger Services Manager (PSM) on excursions behind Nickel Plate Road 765. 

“I’m excited to serve NGR and its mission. Bringing the perspective from the modern rail industry as a day job is valuable, as I think I can show younger interested individuals that ‘trains’ can be a full time job that doesn’t strictly involve turning wrenches or brake wheels all day.”

Glenn has been a board member of NGR since Spring 2025 and serves as the secretary for 2026.

Casey has been a railroader for over 10 years, doing everything from working in the mechanical department to being an engineer and fireman for various short lines and heritage railroads around the East Coast.
