Rolling out the old as the new again, thanks to BNSF employee

During the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone found new ways to pass the time. But Gary Boone took it a step further. Boone, a gang trackman on BNSF’s Montana Division, not only resurrected an old pastime, but he also helped unite a community in the process. Boone reintroduced his fellow community members to roller skating – and they’re still skating together four years later.
