Slightly off-topic. Donald S. Robinson, of Charlton, MA, has died recently. A retired Boston & Maine dispatcher, Robinson was a well-known photographer and was active at Steamtown in its early years.

Also died, Dennis Corsale, age 80, of Saratoga, NY, oldest conductor on the entire Amtrak system, who was still working the Adirondack between Albany and Montreal at the time of his death. His "kid" brother still is a freight conductor on the D&H, at age 66.

Sorry to hear about Donald Robinson. He was hired by the PHMC to appraise and evaluate the rolling stock collection at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in 1976. His evaluation (along with that supplied by John White and Col. Howard Hill) later helped persuade the Penn Central Corporation to donate the PRR Historical Collection to the Commonwealth of PA in late 1979.
