One of the more hazardous jobs
on the railroad is that of Special Agent or Police Officer and many of these
men have fallen in the line of duty.
Fallen officers from all jurisdictions are honored on the Officer Down Memorial Page where these
officers are listed by state. Railroad
police are also shown. 15 of them come
from the Chicago & North Western Ry. and are listed on this page. Details of each incident can be had by
clicking on the officer’s name below.
Of special interest is Officer Maurice Leahy, Uncle of
Veterans’ Association member John Leahy. Thanks to Kevin Leahy for letting us
know about the Officer Down Memorial Page. |
