CLOVIS - To anybody who's been in Clovis a few years, the name Phil Williams means trains. He opened the Clovis Depot Model Train Museum more than a quarter century ago.

But there were plenty of tracks with Williams, who died April 30 from heart complications. He lived throughout the world, never stopped learning and could...
