@Hot Water posted:That's great news! Tell him I said hello. Yes, everybody got along great with Lynn Nystrom. He and I were really good friends, ever since the 1981 Railfair at the grand opening of the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. We talked about every other week, and my wife still exchanges Christmas cards with Mary Nystrom. It was a big shock when Lynn passed, as we had talked the day before about his possible retirement, since I had already retired. We sure had some great times and runs together on both 844 and 3985. I really mis him.
I will do that, Jack. I'm also going to invite him to check out this forum.
I don't know if he's familiar with it.
I find it a great source of institutional knowledge from you fellows with hands-on experience.
It's also a much friendlier forum than some of the others, where the behavior runs from cliquish to downright boorishness.
