Dave,
"Captain Sea-Land" is alive and well. his red truck, however, has long been retired. He sold it to an NYSW employee years back, and it has since met its own end. I Believe he kept the Sea-Land bug shield. His stepson works with me at CSX and is a fine conductor. While admiteddly I haven't made too much personal contact with "The Captain", I can assure you that via his stepson he is doing well. He left the NYS&W several years ago and now works as part of a roofing company one of his brothers owns and operates. I will make sure that your inquiry gets to him....
