As you know, Metro North moves a ton of people. After
31 years on the job they rarely
move me (at least not emotionally). However, the
following photos shared by Brent van Dorp
are moving and phenomenal. Metro North has been in the
process of rebuilding and repainting
their Genesis engines.
The following photo is of newly repainted engine 213
Our members who work bombardier trains are aware that
Genesis engine 213 was dedicated
several years ago to the memory of Vice-President
Richard Kirner by including his signature on
the shell of the engine as shown below.
Engine 213 was just rebuilt and repainted. Richard
Kirner's signature has been repainted on the
shell
and is now joined by the signature of his son, engineer
Tom Kirner, whose loss we continue
to mourn.
This tribute to a member of our organization is a
testament to how many people Tom positively
affected. His memory lives on in the hearts and minds of
his co-workers.
