Ed Sammler, EMD and RSI Sales Representative

Retired EMD veteran Ed Sammler passed away recently after a long illness. Ed worked in the locomotive building industry for four decades and was well known and highly respected by his many friends at Electro-Motive, at his subsequent employer Rail Systems Incorporated, and on the railroads. He was a frequent contributor to museums and historical societies, a fine gentleman and a great friend. I was very sorry to learn of his passing.

It's alway sad to hear of a passing of a knowledgeable EMD employee. The stuff they know and the ability to relate that information to the non-technical railfan will be missed.
