Famous Canadian Railway Book Author Dies
Posted by AgentKid on Sunday, July 5, 2009 4:01 AM

Author and Co-Author of numerous Canadian Railway books published by B.R.M.N.A., Donald M. Bain has passed away.

His obituary notice:

He did what no one else seemed to be doing and helped produce many wonderful books about Canadian railways, and provided me along with many others, wonderful hours spent reading his books.

For those of us living south of the Border, I checked with amazon (usa) and B.R.M.N.A. = British Railway Modellers of North America.  Sadly, amazon.ca didn't have any info on him.
