John Gruber’s visionary act in establishing the CRP&A (sounds like an acronym for a true transcontinental) was matched by getting it up and running. To the present an organization well worth the cost of membership.
A personal note: in the early 1960’s accompanied John on a fan rip behind the fabulous CB&Q O-5 Northern 5632. RIP.
