    Ned was born March 14, 1923 in Galeton, PA. He was a Veteran of World War II – having served in the United States Navy.

    Ned was also a lifelong railroader. His 40 year railroad career included employment on the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad, New York Central, Penn Central, and he ultimately retired as an engineer for Conrail in Corning, NY.

    Ned was active in Naval reunions and stayed in contact with his fellow shipmates of the USS Barr. He was a member of the Retired Railroaders. Further, Ned was a volunteer conductor aboard the Tioga Central Railroad. It was during Ned’s time there that he was humbled to have this passenger car named in his honor in 2008.
