TimeriderTech is the username for Michael House, an electrical engineer and writer who works in the railroad signal and electric utility industries when he's not volunteering for the local fire department.
Work on obscure railroad signaling topics on Wikipedia is a labor of love that he does "pro bono" for the greater good of the modern world.
Personal opinion: "Nobody should die at a railroad crossing."
Mike lives in Eastern California (Try finding THAT on a map!) and walks his dogs up to the meadow near his house at lunch.
