Thank you sir for doing your job. Working in the rail yards is in it self a very dangerous place to be. Having to chase and catch bad guys and avoiding getting run over by moving equipment is just has bad as it sounds, dangerous. Thank you sir for doing your job.

Officer Grote, I wish to thank you for your dedicated service in helping to protect one of America’s greatest assets, its railroads. Honestly, until reading this, I never knew the Old Colony had ever had a Police Department.

My Dad spent a number of years working for the New York Central, five of which as a Police Officer and I know the risks involved and appreciate the work you did.

I also thank you for your time as a member of the United States Army and your work to defend and hold together the Union. I had two great-great Grandfathers who fought as well, one in the Vermont Volunteers. You hold a special place in Heaven Sir.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
