Meet the Owner

Israel "Dwayne" Hegenheiser
Owner & Co-Founder

Born in Tennessee and moving to Southern Florida at the age of 5, I've grown to love the railroad operations dearly, especially southern based rails. I am an avid CSX, Seaboard System, SCL and SGLR enthusiast who enjoys the taste of my area's railroad history, marking back to the days of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line. I started my journey with WWS since the very beginning in 2021 as one of the co-founders of MTG, and took ownership of the rebrand soon after, continuing Midwest Railracer's legacy since then.
