Tuscarora Almanac – July 30, 2019 – The Book of Last Runs (in Memoriam) It is with deep regret that I report the passing of Mr. Doug Diamond aka BMT Man. He was one of the early members of our community back in the sub-talk days. He worked for the Transit Authority as a train operator and was active at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven. Connecticut. He was a friendly and outgoing person and an avid railfan. I first made his acquaintance in 1999 when the re-building of the Franklin Avenue Shuttle was a major topic of conversation on the board. We would usually catch up with each other about twice a year either on a Nostalgia Trip or on Member’s Day at Branford. Doug was only sixty. He left us way too early. No doubt when his train arrives at its final destination Dante, Selkirk and Karl B will be waiting for him at the station. Rest in Peace Good Friend. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
