David Read's passing
Posted by daveklepper on Thursday, April 30, 2015 9:14 AM

Possibly you may remember his recount of a steam locomotive repair job on the Southern Pacific.   He also wrote about the new Berlin Central Station for TRAINS.  I have been told he has passed on to his eternal reward, but I lack details, and maybe a reader knows more.   He also wrote about the installation of public address equipment on the Cumbres and Toltec, but I do not remember whether this was in a Kalmbach magazine or in Sound and Communcations, where he was an editor and contributor.  I am very grieved at this loss.
