The NYCSHS web site announced that Charles M. Smith passed away on October 4th.
He worked for the NYC, PC and CR in motive power prior to retirement and was
one of the founders of the NYC historical socitey. Anyone requesting detailed
info on the NYC would probably have corresponded with Charlie through the
years. His responses were always detailed, precise and hand written!
I last corresponded with him in May regarding NYC M&E cars and the correct horn
sound for the Niagara. He sent me a great explanation of the Niagara's diesel
horn, why it was used and a photocopy of the actual catalog page used to
purchase horns from WABCO. Like I said, precise and hand written... He will
be missed...
