Re: [CBQ] RIP Pete Hedgpeth

["Tom Parisoff via groups.io" <bn2310=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

Pete came to St. Joseph, MO., my hometown, and we drove following his directions. When we’d get to the location he described, he have a picture from that exact location, several decades earlier. Richard Morgan-Fine was his ride from Lincoln. It was an honor to listen to Pete tell his stories.

Fellow Burlington fans, we lost a good friend and associate, Pete Hedgpeth of Lincoln, Nebraska.   Pete grew up in Northwest Missouri, and worked as an extra board brakeman on the CB&Q out of Lincoln, NE during his college years at the University of Nebraska.   Following graduation he joined the Rock Island Railroad and worked for that company for several decades.   Pete was a great storyteller and shared his railroad experiences by authoring several books as well as numerous articles in The Mainline, the monthly newsletter of the Lincoln Railfans Club.   He was an active member of the club and attended regularly right to the end of his life.   We'll miss him!    - Don Zinnecker
