Hann comes by his interest in trains honestly. His grandfathers, uncles, and some of his aunts worked for the Newfoundland Railway. His mother grew up in the station house in Princeton, Bonavista Bay, where her father was the stationmaster. In Port aux Basques, where he grew up, Hann’s house overlooked the train yard. “Ever since I was a little kid I was around trains. As a baby I was listening to the rhythm of the steam locomotive.“ He’s painted many trains—many of them travelling along the tracks of the Gaff Topsails on the west coast. One of those hangs in the Gander town hall as well.
