Dan Ranger, author and tourist railway advocate, 1938-2015
This is a sad story, particularly for me because I am only one year younger.
I would hope that the Cumbres and Toltec erect some type of memorial to him, if they haven’t done so already.
I recall reading several articles of his in Trains Magazine, about his time on the SP during the days of steam. Some of my favorite “reads”. You left your mark on railroading my friend.
Sad to read that. I first met Dan when he was running the remains of the Graham County Railroad/Bear Creek Junction in NC. He was the engineer for our run. My copy of Pacific Coast Shay was signed by him there.
