I've seen a number of posts on Facebook announcing Ross' death.

Read the dates on the replies Joe. They were all made before his death.

No one had yet reported it when I made the post...

Unfortunately that treatment program didn't last out the month.

RIP Ross - Steam ON!

I've been a lurker here for many years, but would like to offer my condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Rowland. As a young boy, my parents took me on the 614's Port Jervis trips kickstarting a lifelong interest in history and engineering. I hope Mr. Rowland's loved ones can take solace in the fact that he lived a long life in which he was able to follow his dreams and do things which some said were impossible.

Mr. Rowland's sale of C&O 614 appears prescient in both ensuring a good home for the locomotive and saving his inheritors a major headache. I'm sorry that he didn't get to see 614 in action one more time.
