Date: 09/08/22 15:30 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: CPCoyote Very sorry to hear of Seller’s passing. Sad to lose a brother SP Coast engineer. Rest in Peace Nudge.
Posted from iPhone Date: 09/08/22 16:17 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: johnw Another ex SP Coast engineer here. Since I worked mostly out of San Francisco and Seller worked out of San Luis Obispo I'm not sure that I ever met him during my career but I greatly enjoyed his posts about rairoading on the Coast here on Trainorders. As another poster commented, what a great story teller! Too bad he never got around to writing that book! Rest in peace Nudge.

Rebecca Morgan Jacobsburg, OH Date: 09/12/22 12:52 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: ironmtn Very sad news indeed. As with so many other members, I always enjoyed Nudge's stories...and learned a fair bit of down-to-earth SP Coast Line railroading from them. Rest in Peace, Nudge.

Date: 09/19/22 07:37 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: Searat Jim, Thanks for the sad news on Seller. He was a huge character. When I took over as BLE griever in SLO town, he made it his mission to "school me' on how to conduct business; Interwoven with lots of yarns, arm waving, hollering, and generally being himself full blast. Even after things went South in SLO and we all scattered, we stayed in touch some. He was in Oregon, I was in Washington. We kept up with some of the diaspora and had stories to share. His were always better.
Michael Sarratt Rainier, WA Date: 09/20/22 10:46 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: cewherry Sorry to read of Sellar's passing. My condolences go out to his family for their loss.
Although I never had the privilege of working with Sellar, I feel I knew him through his contributions here on Trainorders. For those who never met him I am attaching a photo showing Sellar while attending Southern Pacific's engineer training school in 1971--he's at the far right, front row. Rest in peace, Sellar. Regards and prayers. Charles Wherry  Date: 09/20/22 19:17 Re: RIP SP Nudge Author: ironmtn Thanks for posting this image. It is really interesting to see Sellar at that time in his career.
I never met him, and am not a railroader, but I always enjoyed his posts and stories. I have to say that neither that image, nor the one on his obituary webpage, fit my mental image of him from his stories, and some very enjoyable private messages that I had with him. He had a posting and storytelling style that created a mental image of a a somewhat older looking man. Just as with radio personalities whom you come to know by their voice, and then form a mental image from that, it can be a surprise, and often a pleasant one, when you finally see their image, or meet them. Condolences again to Sellar's family, friends and former SP colleagues. He will surely be missed by them, as well as by his Trainorders acquaintances and friends.
