Don Harold's passing
Posted by daveklepper on Sunday, June 18, 2023 2:10 AM

Three days ago.  Information on the Electric Railroaders Associaion website: www.erausa.org

I am confident that Don's spirit will be with every run of the Nostalgia Trains, every movie and slideshow that illustrates historic equipment that would not have been saved but for his timely efforts, operations at Branford. Seashore, Connecticut Valley, Arden, Union, Fox Valley, and other operating museums, where runs equipment he rode and/or operated as restored and/or previously in regular service..

There is an article on him in today's NY Times (may be behind a paywall.)
