Obtained a copy of his book when it was published and corresponded with him in long hand letters. Pre e- mail. Still have them So much more personal. Wonder if anyone will do another book on this historic railroad. So few original sources left like Lou.

Hi Emily, I’m sorry to learn of Lou’s passing. I’m an engineer on the Harlem line. What a great history book of the Harlem line. An retired engineer gave me this book, with a good luck message. So this book has alot of sentimental value to me. Ironically, I know Lou’s sons, and knew of him, from Pawling as I am from here as well. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Emily – this is a lovely tribute – Mr. Grogan’s book has been invaluable to me throughout my career, and his passing is certainly a loss.

Very sorry to hear of Lou Grogan’s death. Sadly, I never had the good fortune of meeting him. Though I did purchase “The Coming…” shortly after it was published, and have enjoyed since, both as a reminiscence of 20 years riding the Harlem, and as an excellent reference. Thank you for your tribute to this fine gentleman.
