My brother, Bill Losse passed away yesterday. I’m the youngest of six kids and he was number two in birth order. He was responsible for introducing me to most of what I enjoy in life.
He put a camera in my hands when I was five. He let me ride along in the car while he went out to chase trains. He introduced me to a lot of the locations that I would travel to later when I would go out on my own adventures. He encouraged me to build models, first with airplanes and later with trains.
The image I posted is from the early 80’s. We were trackside up on the former NYC along the Hudson River to photograph the Amtrak FL9’s.
This is the memory of my brother I keep going back to today. I will miss him.
George, my condolences on the loss of your brother. My older brother, Tim, was an influence in my life, and I lost him in 2020. I am currently doing some historical videos on Shamokin, PA. I’m doing this voluntarily to share my town’s history. I wanted to ask your permission to use your photos of the Reading Railroad Engine House in the 5th Ward. One of the interviews I did had someone talking about it.
Thank you for your time and your wonderful photographs. Peace to you and your family during these times.
Sorry for your loss.You both shared many great photographs,and knowledge on the Reading Railroad.
