Since you asked for me to once again embarrass you in public. You used that phrase about 3 weeks ago to explain why bing-bong argues with my posts or some such shit. But that would be too easy sois a post you made in 2007 using that exact phrase. Do you know how many times you've used it over the past 5 years. Do you want to apologize now or are you going to post your cowardly "I will not answer you about this" canned reply? Any questions now, dan lawrence ? |

When I read this on my Droid as I was arriving at my office this morning, I was greatly saddened. Joe was a good guy to know and share traction info with. Once we got to talking on a fantrip, we hit it off pretty well, and he would always remember the items I'd be on the look out for and showing me new items that he thought would interest me. His collection of traction, trackless and bus photos from around the world was not to be beat, many of which he took himself. I have several of his publications and spoke to him online or in person at least every month or so. The last conversation we had was about some photos of the Electroliner at IRM and of some more photos he found of PTC 2647. I know he had worked closely with Vincent Seyfried who also sadly passed a few months ago. We also corresponded on O scale traction modelling a good number of times, especially since I made a model of QBBRy 602.I am honored to have known Joe Saitta, even only for a relatively short decade or so, I know others have known him for several more decades. Godspeed and rest in peace Joe, you will be missed by many people in this hobby. Condolences to your family, co-workers and friends. Just some of the cool things that Joe Saitta had done: * Operated Queensborough Bridge Railway 601 over the bridge on its last day of operation as a lad of 15 (I am sure supervised). * Rode on and photographed DC's Silver Sightseer before it entered service, also as a teen, with company dignitaries, only by the chance of being there when the car showed up in front of him while on a family visit to DC. * worked closely with historian Vincent Seyfried to complete and publish what turned out to be his last book. and there were many others. |

Please, is this the correct thread for this? This thread was started to inform people of the passing of one of this forum's regular contributors; jumping on someone for their phraseology strikes me as a bit out of line.Steve - I don't post much, and I (and I'm sure many others) respect your experience with NYC Transit, and value and appreciate your contributions. I don't intend this as an attack, so please don't take it as such. I just think there is a time and place for everything, and this is not the thread for this. subfan |

I heard about this very sad news just yesterday from his son. Joe was a very close personal friend of mine. He was a kind generous man that you had to get to know. He gave so much of his life to this hobby. His contributions were endless- books, bus calenders, photographs, badges, models, and his knowledge, this was his life. His love for the PCC car was endless-especially the "Silver Sightseer". He often vacationed to Europe bringing back many photgraphs and stories that I would enjoy listning to. As a young boy Joe always dreamed of operating a subway car and that dream came to pass just a few years ago after was hired and "qualified" as a NYCT motorman passing all the requirements and tests at the age of 67, a feat I could probably never do. He was truly unstoppable surpassing many other candidates much younger and stronger than he- ten fold. His favorite modern day subway car was of course the R32 (old reliable) just like Joe. I will sincerley miss you my friend and this hobby will miss you as well- God Bless you Joseph P. Saitta or as you would have it in your book "me-joe" for there will never be another like you.! RIPWE-44 |
