Remembering Lou Adelson Commentbook
Comments0I grew up knowing lou. He always had a joke for everything...even if they weren't funny. He was like my uncle lou. I will miss him alot. What else can I say about him...execpt he was a good guy.
Comments0Lou was one of the greatest friends a person could have. I treasure the many years we spent together. His children Smokey, Kilroy Ambush Underfoot (AKA Picklehead) and Pufferbelly are a wonderful constant reminder and living presence of him. Feel free to inquire abut them anytime. His presence is missed everywhere he was a part of.
Comments0I was really shocked with I was searching the web for some of the railroads I have worked on and I came across this posting that Lou had died. I was one of the first volenteers who help get trains rolling on the OC&T. I was with Lou on the first move of equipment up the valley to Titusville. At that time not all of the trees had been cut back and when the train came to a tree trunk too close to the tracks both Lou and I got off the train and sat on the trunk so it would be low enough to let the train pass. As you can imagine Lou was a little bigger then I was so when the train got passed Lou got off the tree and about launch me into the woods! I have many many stories about Lou, many of which were told over and over at dinner over at PaPa Carones. Lou usually said what was on his mind good or bad but he always had a big heart and meant well. No matter what anyone says the OC&T would have never got running without Lou, I can only hope that he found out that Heaven has a railroad!

Comments0I was fortunate to grow up around the train with Lou in my life. I have many fond memories of the days when we would finish work at the station and then head over to Papa's. It was quite a "family" back in those days. I remember one year when I was very young and he brought me a Rudolph christmas decoration at the Santa Run. I still have it. He was always ready with a smile, a joke and a hug. Lou loved the railroad so much. While you may not always have agreed with what he had to say, he always had what was best for the railroad in his heart. Lou, you are missed by so many. Thanks for all that you have done for so many people.

Comments0The new town of Santa Margarita started as a temporary terminal for the railroad beginning April 20, 1889. People traveling further south took the stagecoach to San Luis Obispo. There they might board the Pacific Coast Railroad as far as Los Olivos and then continue by stagecoach to Santa Barbara.<a href="http://www.resumesplanet.com/">resume writing services</a>
