Ben Greathouse retired from the Rio Grande in 1971. If I heard corectly there were restrictions on him running an engine after he retired. I also heard that Sid McKinney was encouraged to ``retire'' again. Any confirmation on this?
Ben Greathousse has the distinction of being the engineer on the last Rio Grande standard gauge steam powered train in 1956.
