| This gentleman by the name of Howard Dawson had 45 years in with the MP/UP, and he retired in 1986, 21 years ago. He rode in the cab of 844 from Wichita to here, where he had just gotten off the engine. I stepped over and had a few words with him, along with other crew members. The Howard, in his late 80's said he'd had a ball this morning. Thanks to the Union Pacific Yahoo! Group member who told me his name. |
