Detective Barnes, now it is 99 years since your brutal murder, a murder that never saw justice in this world. I am confident that justice was found in the next.

God Bless you today and always, Brother and may your eternal rest remain peaceful.

It's now 95 years since your passing. I failed to mention in my reflection last year that my Dad spent 5 years (of about 12 with the NYCRR) as a New York Central Cop before he moved on to my hometown's PD. Though he had a very distinguished career, he often regretted leaving the Railroad. A Picture of him in his NYCRR Police uniform hangs on my wall.

Men of the nations Railroad Police agencies are true heroes and God Bless all of you, but on this date, God Bless you in particular Detective Barnes and may your eternal rest be peaceful.

Why on Earth that scum was never tried for your murder may never be satisfactorily explained, but I can only hope he found true justice, if not in this life, then in the next.

Detective Barnes, you truly are a hero because you helped to protect one of this Nation's greatest assets and your sacrifice has not been forgotten.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
