Hi Grandpa, As usual you did a fabulous job with your drawings. Once mom gave me this website I immediately sent to out to my in laws. I hope you and Gram are doing good.
Excellent stuff here. NH RR psgr car people were among the country's best. Charlie Goodwin was a great and good man. This material is important. Ordinary people could understand the machinery in their daily lives. Now it is all digital and nobody knows how anything works except how to replace printed circuit boards that test bad.
I began my railroad career working menial jobs for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad while on summer vacation in high school. I graduated to the "Ice Gang" (bringing in blocks of ice for air conditioning on the coaches.) After serving as an Air Force Pilot in WWII, I returned to the railroad as an electrician. I left the railroad for an assortment of jobs, before becoming a Senior Safety Advisor for the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
I posted this blog so that the history and inner workings of the railroad would not be lost on future generations.
