Model Railroading > R.I.P Keith Turley

Keith Turley passed away a couple of weeks ago at Methodist Hospital in Arcadia CA. They call it a "heart episode". His family is mostly in Salt Lake City and no services are planned. However, Brian Brooks and I will be hosting an informal memorial for him and all his friends/family this Sunday afternoon at Matt Denny's restaurant in Arcadia.

Keith was a noted passenger car historian, freight car dork, custom builder and locomotive modeler. He loved any railroad the came to St. Louis, where he grew up.

I have attached the flyer, please join us for something to eat and a story or two.

Respectfully submitted,
Tom Bacarella

Our condolences to you and all of his friends and family.

I never met Keith, but I hope that I got to know him through his posts here on TO. Here’s a link to the information that he shared with us.

So sorry to hear that. I met Keith a few times when he was working at the Whistle Stop in Pasadena. And he did bring up some memories of St. Louis.

My condolences,

Way to go , Fred!

May he rest in peace. I met Keith during my first visit to WPM many moons ago. Believe he was wearing an "exceeds Plate C" shirt. Ended up chatting a lot about the Milwaukee over the next few years but lost track of him after that. Hope he was able to get a few of those Milwaukee caboose projects completed before he was called up.

I'm sure most of you know this but Keith posted here as "cabinman". He will be missed.

Yes it was cabinman who was assuring me that Athearn was going to produce an SDP40F a year or two before they were officially announced,.

Cheers, Jim
