Mo-Pac Retiree  Contributor's Pick!       
I found out later that this old timer put in 45 years in engine Service with the MP/UP as a fireman then an engineer. He retired 21 years ago in 1986. He is in his late 80's and was glad to be aboard 844 today behind the fireman. I later found out that his name was Howard Dawson. One nice fellow indeed. Thanks to the Union Pacific Yahoo! Group member who told me his name.

David Mead General Indeed a proud moment and nicely captured - hope he will see this. 9/11/2007 2:45:33 AM
C.S. Jackson General From my estimation, he probably started service in 1941. I probably met some people who used to work for the Illinois Central. 5/9/2008 9:41:21 PM
