Special Agent Gross, being a Railroad cop is not an easy task, it never has been and never will be, yet you took on a responsibility to help protect one of America's most vital assets and I thank you for it. Though it's been many years since your life ended in the service of others, you have not been forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Brother, and God Bless.
