He saw it and identified himself as being one of the guys down the line, and that began a friendly email exchange on all manner of railroad topics.
Art House Date: 02/13/20 13:51 Re: Chessie Steam Special With a Well-Remembered TO.Com Contribut Author: ClubCar Ed rode a number of excursions and he was a devoted photographer and he shared many of his photos here on Trainorders. He was a terrific person to know and his photo contributions that he posted are missed for sure.
