Marty Sukup stopped by the Merrillan depot on March 31, 2010 to say “Hi” after riding in on his new 2010 Harley. Marty lives at Poynette, WI; quite a ride, but it was a nice day and he wanted to go for a cruise. Marty retired in late 2008 with over 30 years of service. His last job was Foreman of a Surfacing Gang, which worked at various Wisconsin locations. Another excellent photo from Louis Wilson.			The latest from Florida….. Retired Engineer Herb Lund and his new Harley. Photo from Jim Hansen.
Here’s two more from Louis Wilson. On the left, Henry Gerth waits for a train on June 20, 1982, possibly at Crystal Lake, IL. On the right, at the right is the Signal Dept. camp car at Madison, WI on December 1, 1987. Louis explains that while once used for sleeping accommodations, at this time the camp car was pulled around with our tool car and we could use it for doing paper work or playing cards occasionally at lunch time, but not much else. It was a sort of house trailer on a flatbed rail car, not a coach car like the B&B Dept. had. At some point later on, the camp car was no longer moved with the crew.
The UP sent equipment to the Rochelle Railroad Days on the Weekend of June 7, 2009 and here’s 3 pictures from Mark Llanuza taken at Global 3 before the unite went to Rochelle. In the top picture are Northern Region Manager of Operating Practices Tom Horvath, IL Division Engineer Jim Brady & Conductor Mike Kuntsman. In the lower left is RCO Operator Mike Schaffer. In the lower right we have Doug, an electrician, and Tom Horvath again. All are all old C&NW men except Doug who hired out on the UP. Thanks to Mark and to Dave Hawley who helped with the identifications.
Dave Grewe, formerly Director of Transportation Services, was caught by Mark Llanuza at the Franklin Park Railroad Days, May 21, 2009..			From Captain Wally Lindemann. John Schoettel tail hosing on the Marsh Assignment. Thanks to Dan Sylvester & Bob Alba for identifying John.
The Milwaukee Chapter has a breakfast at 8:30 am on the second Tuesday each month at Meyers Restaurant, 4200 South 76th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53220. Here’s who was there on August 12, 2008, from both end of the table.
At the left, Galen Ott and Dan Hazlett are doing some pole line work while at the right Dominic Panteleo and Ron Bockin prepare a spot for a new battery box, both in March 1988 at Crystal Lake, IL. Galen, Dan & Dominic are still with the Signal Department and all have over 30 years of service. Ron is now with another railroad. Thanks to Louis Wilson for the photos.
