Steve Zabel was known by many in the railfan community. I'd met him on fantrips and NY Div. meetings. He was a very nice guy, very friendly, and personable.

I knew he'd become a motorman. At a Sunrise Trail meeting, George Abere spoke highly of him. He told me that he was manic (small "m" anecdotal description), and that he was so enthusiastic about the transit system, his activities would keep him up all night. He further told me that this lack of sleep caused him to have an accident - he dozed off and hit the bumper block of one of the pocket tracks at WTC.

He loved Pittsburg's trolley system, and took many, now historic photos of its operations.
