![]() Born in Independence, Kansas, he spent his early years living a block from the Santa Fe depot. Many summer evenings (and some mornings), his parents would take him over to the depot to see the Santa Fe's "Tulsan" or "Oil City Flyer" make their station stops. Although the route is now part of a shortline, and no longer a through route, Les can still hear the sound of the F Units chanting in his mind today. Other memories
include being invited up into the cab of a Great Northern F unit at Duluth
(Minnesota) Union Station, riding New York Central and Penn Central passenger
trains into New York City, and rides on Amtrak during its early days.
Of course a major happening was being bitten by the steam bug while riding
the Cumbres & Toltec in 1972. In 1997,
Les (and co-producer Greg Scholl) were awarded the "Award of Distinction"
in the video industry "Videography Awards" for the "America
By Rail" series. |
