Very Sorry to hear of his passing. Samuel "Sam" Albright.
A name well know in the P&WV Employee Family.
Very well known with the P&WV train crews.
Nice picture of "Sam" in the High & Dry book, page 198.
High Green!

That Sam Albright might have been his father Sam Albright, my Grandfather. Sam #1 work on the PWV for 50 years. Uncle Jay-"Sam" as he was know after Grandpap passed away in 1957 worked in the Mechanical/locomotive Dep't most on Steam, with the coming of the Diesels he left and went to work in the steel Industery. If you get a chance I'd like to see that Photo.
thanks Bill |
