Joe was an almost endless source of knowledge about the C&NW. It is hard to imagine the future of the historical society without him.

Class act always - He will be missed. Railroad historians lost a friend and ally. CNWHS will be hard pressed to match all of his efforts.
The CNWHS is reporting long time historian of the CNWHS has passed away. Joe Piersen died of an aneurysm and service details are pending. Joe was a true friend of the CNW and its merged companies, and was a walking encyclopedia of information. Joe will be truly missed. Tom Kaufman Seminole FL
