Posted by samcevoy on Sat Nov 21 02:58:55 2015, in response to Re: [OLDE PHOTO] Culver Line Before IND Invasion, posted by Randyo on Wed Aug 25 12:43:21 2010. M. R. DeckingerI met Dick Deckinger in about 1974 when I was with the LIRR on loan to the NYCTA, and Dick was a Special Duty Trainmaster with NYCTA. He hired on the NYCTA in the 1930s and had prior railroad service with the Erie and NYC. Dick was probably the most qualified operations expert on the NYCTA. Dick earned a Cooper Union engineering degree in mid-life and when he retired from the NYCTA at age 65 or so, he became a signal engineer working on the Northeast Corridor Project. He later worked in Asia. Dick was my friend for about 30+ years until he died in 2007. If anyone wants a copy of Dick's eulogy, send me an e-mail at samcevoy@aol.com. Steve McEvoy |
