To give one small snippet Ray shared the night of the Aurora presentation. 
He was working at the Aurora Roundhouse when the war broke out and like many men he quickly volunteered. Upon returning after the war he could see those new shiny diesels coming into service and foresaw what that meant for the Roundhouse employees.
So despite friends saying he was foolish, he became a loco. Fireman and started over at the bottom of the seniority list. He added that ten years later he was working and all
Those old roundhouse co-workers were gone.

All - To close this thread, with the latest clues that Leo posted, I was able to "find" Ray Moore. To preserve Mr. Moore's privacy, I've sent his contact data direct to Leo. Hope that Leo can get a good interview. Personally, I'd like to know what classes of steam locomotives that Mr. Moore fired and, may be, later ran as an engineer, along with their characteristics such as steamed/rode good or bad, a piece of junk, my favorite locomotive, taking coal/water, crusty engineers, etc., etc. Same with the first generation diesels and comparing steam to them. I'm sure that Leo, up from the ranks as he is, will have all the right "inquiring" few million questions to ask. I look forward to eventually seeing the interview. Best Regards - Louis

Leo - I can't find R.L. Moore, Sr., as you identified, on the 'Net, either. As age 95, most likely he is in an assisted living community or living with family. Assuming Mr. Moore retired as an engineer on the BN, perhaps, you can find him through BNSF/Union records, or, perhaps, Railroad Retirement/Social Security. Since he is a World War Two vet, may be he still belongs to an American Legion or VFW Post in Aurora. Good luck in your search. I'd like to hear his recollections, too. He would've hired on the Q some 75 years ago, say 1941 or thereabouts. You'd think that Mr. Moore must've come with someone, a friend or family member, to your Aurora presentation. However you originally broadcasted the presentation, try that again as he heard about it the first time, may be he will hear about you looking for him the second. Thanks for all you do - Louis

Does anyone on this group know how to reach R.L. Moore Sr. ? Or do you know of anyway who does ? He came up to me before the start of the March, Aurora presentation. I was simply amazed of his mental faculties at age 95. I've looked through internet searches to no avail. I do know he lives in the Marywood neighborhood of what is now surrounded by Aurora and even believe he lives on Molitor road.

I'd really like to sit down with him and ask a few million questions as he is one of the last
Surviving men who hand find steam.

And for a couple of you on the list for whom he's not your favorite just keep in mind a lot
Of water has gone under the bridge and he is a WWII vet.

Any help is appreciated . Spread the word as I know some of you converse with others who meet with him at the informal Q vets get together.

Thanks,
Leo Phillipp
