BTW, I had the honor of meeting the late Mr O. Winston Link back in 1986. At the time he stored steam locomotive he had acquired along the then long out of service New York, Susquehanna & Western track at Newfoundland, Rockaway Township NJ. At the time the NYS&W was undergoing a rebirth as part of a coast to coast doublestack container route. As there was vandalism to track equipment and work trains where they tied up the railway's PD hired part time security from local PD's and since I dispatched at one I worked quite a few days doing so. One Sunday, the equipment was tied up near Mr Link's place. When I first arrived and checked over the equipment he approached me with a handgun . Only after I used the portable radio provided to contact the train dispatcher was he convinced that I was legit.
