Born to a wealthy family on the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio, Abram grew up an only child garnering all his parents attention. Despite being given any and everything he could desire, Abram was always a kind child, often giving away many of his own belongings to less fortunate children. His father, an investment banker, often was away working long hours, yet, when he was present he spent as much time with his son as he could. Abram’s mother, a sickly housewife, doted on her only child, while also depending on him for much of her caregiving. It wasn’t until Abram was twelve that he discovered he was the product of science and a lot of prayer.
Having grown up in a mixed community, Abram became best friends with Adelar Santiago. The boys bonded over their love of locomotives and the old west. Adelar helped teach Abram Spanish and Abram helped to better develop Adelar’s English. When the boys turned sixteen they made a pact to buy the local railroad and fulfill their childhood dreams of running a rail line.
On holidays, Abram offers special events for families, keeping the costs low to as to allow the less privileged to come and enjoy a night on the rails. The rest of the time, his rail line boasts both freight and passenger.
When his mother died, Abram, fifteen at the time, vowed to name his first train after her. The Esther Ruth is retired now, making special appearances at Easter and Christmas as a showpiece decorated for the holidays.
Having never married, and as a devout Episcopalian, Abram uses his free time to work with volunteer programs and nonprofits to help improve the city of Columbus and surrounding Franklin County.
