A Great Engineer Passed Away Yesterday

I watched the video, he did a nice job of easing the engine through that wheel slip. RIP Errol.

Great video.  Makes me wish I had gotten to know him.

Thanks,

Mike

I watched the video, All I can say is the the number one railroad must have needed a number one engineer.

I'm sorry Don to hear the about the passing of your friend Errol. He certainly was a very skilled engineer. He was very patient when the train lost traction and started slipping but instead of just giving it more power he finessed the engine until he could gain traction, a real test of his skill. We sometimes take for granted the skill required to run these steam engines.

May his memory be for a blessing.

Nice video, another good example to get rid of traction tires

I can't believe I just found this picture. It's Errol and his wife last Memorial Day in front of his engine. Don

Don:  So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.  He really looked like he was a great guy and a pretty talented hogger on a steam engine.  May he be well remembered and his presence at the museum to have been a blessing to all.
