LIRRConductor:
Isn't McSherry's son's name Tom? I met him in 1994 when he was checking-out on an MP-15AC between KO-Riverhead. I knew his dad in the 40's/50's. I recall he said he had come over to the LIRR from Amtrak.
Sorry to hear that "Gabe" passed on. LIRR engineer G. Maccarone put me in touch with him in 2002 so that I could hook him up by telephone with my next door neighbor who had flown in the same theater of operations (European)with Col. Gabreski - P-47s in support of Gen. Patton's 3rd Army. My neighbor passed on 3 years ago - he retired as a Major-General. Great guys. Tanky Bell was a good friend of my long-time friend, LIRR engineer Richie Harrison.
