\u201cI would also like the magazine to be remembered for its critical mindedness. We weren\u2019t afraid of controversy. We were celebrating the railroad
\npreservation movement, but we didn\u2019t want to pander to it. We didn\u2019t want to be the voice of the big museums or TRAIN or the big guys. We wanted to be the
\nvoice of the average volunteer, working hard, trying to raise money. People had and have a real passion for what they were doing, we wanted to reflect that
\nenthusiasm.” Mark Smith, talking about Locomotive & Railway Preservation,<\/i> a magazine he founded in 1986, pages 4-5<\/p>\n

“The field of economics offers a useful framework to explain to the demise of the Chicago chapter. In Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, economist Joseph Schumpeter
\nprovides an interesting explanation of the changes shaping markets and new forces (for example technology) that create opportunities for growth. To explain how the
\nmarket delivers progress, Schumpeter coined the phrase \u201ccreative destruction\u201d which he defines as the process of constantly destroying and renewing an
\norganization to adapt to ever-changing \u2026 changes.” President Robert Holzweiss<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople back in the dark days of the library thought that railroad archives should be deep-sixed, and really they are some of our most important collections.
\nHaving them out on the Internet for people to use is pretty important. Three archivists from the Newberry Library, Chicago, summarized a recently completed project,
\nCB&Q: Building an Empire. They went back to the beginning with all the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad material the library had acquired over the last half a
\ncentury, arranged and described everything to today\u2019s archival standards, and made a finding aid available on the Internet.”<\/p>\n

“On November 19 the R&LHS marked a digital milestone when JSTOR (an acronym for Journal Storage, see http:\/\/www.jstor.org\/) released a searchable digital archive of

Now, I was not alive in 1994 but I know one thing: I want to remember today. Southern Railway #4501 sure does not look quite as green as it did twenty years ago, but
\nwe\u2019re not here to record the past. The sound of that Southern 3 chime reverberating through the Tennessee Valley once more is enough to wipe away any doubt of
\nthat engine\u2019s triumphant return. I never planned on any of these excursions happening in my lifetime, and I will appreciate every moment I can get. –Peyton

My goals for this issue and future issues of the Quarterly<\/i> are to continue coverage of R&LHS, stressing its stature as the oldest railroad history organization
\nin North America, and to open a conversation about the importance of railroad history in American life, now and in the future. R&LHS has for 93 years promoted and

\norganization, I want to encourage young and old to embrace railroad history as an active, vibrant concept. –Message from the Editor, John Gruber<\/p>\n

What kind of leader can focus so many talented, passionate and eager people? Leaders must have contagious enthusiasm with a broad a deep knowledge of the subject that
\ncommands the respect of their peers. They must also be unassuming and yet be recognized experts in their field. They must also be modest but also have a history of
\npersonal achievement. Finally, they must be leaders yet always share credit with others. Add to those traits the patience and perseverance required to complete a
\nlong-term project, for example the creation of a major museum and archival repository, and you have Denny Anspach, the subject of this issue of the Quarterly
