Al Reinschmidt Remembered

 A friend sent us this link to an article in Railway Age, announcing the establishment of a scholarship fund in memory of Al Reinschmidt.

Al was a good friend of many of us, and a frequent blogger on this site until his death three years ago.  He joined IRM after his retirement, and helped us a great deal with the restoration of the 36 and 319 after they arrived from Trolleyville.  He will probably be best remembered for his enthusiastic participation in Day Out With Thomas, among other things.  He was also widely known in the railroad industry, and we are glad to see a tangible reminder of his contributions to railroading through this scholarship fund.
