    Carl died 2 years ago at Frink Siding on the Yuma Subdivision. He was a lover of whistles & bells.
    He repaired many gratis for the SP. He was also a railfan & modeler. He was very well liked by
    coworkers & friends alike. Check out the "Messages" in the link below.

    With UP's approval, not only is there a SP style station sign for Rogoza, there is now a
    plaque in Carl's honor. On 3/17/02 coworkers and friends placed the plaque on the north
    side of the sign. The placement was there to allow the train crews to see it passing by
    the site. Carl's wife and family were also present. Also with UP's new timetable in April
    Frink will now be Known as Rogoza. To view pix of the plaque's placement go to:
