As passengers detrain on the other side of the train from the "Sunshine Special", a whole new load of riders wait behind me as Conductor Reed Jackson, Boilermaker-Welder Scott Turley, and a UP MOP recreate a classic scene straight out of railroading's past. Reed passed away on August 15, 2009, and he will be missed by the UP Steam Crew, and by a whole lot of other people who knew him. |
