Ross E. Rowland Jr., a Driver of Steam-Train Preservation, Dies at 85
Ross E. Rowland Jr., who made his fortune trading pork belly futures on Wall Street but was never happier than when he swapped his suit and tie for a locomotive engineer's jacket and cap as one of America's foremost steam-train buffs, died on July 19 in Watertown, N.Y. He was 85. His wife, Karen Bendix, said the cause of death, in a hospital, was lung cancer. He lived in nearby Sackets Harbor, on Lake Ontario. The son — and grandson, and great-grandson — of railroad workers, Mr. Rowland had been in love with steam trains for as long as he could remember. He dreamed of getting to drive a locomotive of his own, and after founding one of the largest commodities brokerages in New York, he had the wherewithal to fulfill that wish. In 1966, he started the High Iron Co., which offered trips around the Mid-Atlantic States in authentic rail cars pulled by vintage locomotives — including, eventually, Mr. Rowland's pride and joy, the C&O No. 614, a 112-foot, 239-ton colossus that he bought and refurbished in 1979. Mr. Rowland was the prime mover behind the Golden Spike Centennial Limited, which in 1969 carried passengers from Grand Central Terminal in New York City to Promontory, Utah, to mark the 100th anniversary of the first transcontinental railroad. A few years later, he created the American Freedom Train, a traveling museum stocked with choice items from the Smithsonian Institution — George Washington's copy of the Constitution, Joe Louis's boxing trunks — that cruised through all 48 contiguous states in 1975 and 1976 in celebration of the country's bicentennial.

The one thing that could protect your parents from scammers
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were creatures whose irresistible song lured sailors to their doom. Odysseus, the hero of "The Odyssey," wanted to hear that famous song. But he knew it was dangerous. So, he had his men tie him to the mast and block their ears with beeswax. Then, they sailed toward the Island of the Sirens. Why? Because Odysseus understood that once he heard their song, he wouldn't be able to resist. And that song always leads to trouble. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join my What does this have to do with protecting your parents from scammers? None of us is invulnerable, not even a hero like Odysseus. The trick is knowing what you can't resist and, one way or another, avoiding it. You can teach your parents all there is to know about modern-day fraud and the dangers of sharing personal information, but there's still this Siren song out there that will have them throwing all that knowledge out the window in a heartbeat. What this Siren song is varies from person to person and day to day. It might be a near-perfect clone of a grandchild's voice, calling in a panic and asking for an urgent transfer to bail them out of trouble, if not jail. Alternatively, a financial adviser could be deftly playing on your parents' anxieties around money since retiring. Another common scam involves a suspiciously foreign-sounding Microsoft customer-support worker calling to inform your parents that the computer they don't have or never use has been infected with a virus. The point is that all of us, no matter how well-informed, careful, or clever, can be exploited by a fast-talking scammer. All it takes is the right hook at exactly the wrong moment, and we're along for the ride. All the more so as we get older and technology advances rapidly, leaving us behind. Scammers rely on emotional reactions as much as, if not more than, ignorance. Letting your parents know about the dangers of engaging with strangers (even if they claim to be from Visa or the IRS) is crucial, but it's not enough. Scammers exploit fear, greed, and the desire to please others or simply be a good citizen. They're experts at raising the emotional toll of interrupting, interrogating, or ignoring them. In short, getting drawn into discussions with scammers is playing with fire. So, what's the solution? Stop the scammers from making contact in the first place. They're getting your parents' contact information and much more personal data besides, from somewhere. Stop them from getting their hands on it, and they won't have the chance to manipulate your parents into doing something they'll regret. People-search sites are a great source of information for scammers. Fast, easy, and inexpensive, they fuel smaller operations and individual scammers. People-search sites are a kind of data broker; the other major kind, sometimes called private-database data brokers, are even worse. These data brokers sell personal data in bulk to other businesses. They've been caught selling the personal data of vulnerable adults before, offering data packs that focused on people who needed in-home care or were suffering from cognitive impairment or decline, for example. This is worse than posting your parents' details publicly. This is packaging up those details and marketing them directly to scammers. The good news is that a data removal service can scrub both people-search sites and the databases of those other, more shadowy data brokers clean of your parents' information. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, property values, health information, shopping habits, political preferences, and more. You can take all this down in one fell swoop with a personal data removal service. While no service can guarantee the complete removal of your data from the internet, a data removal service is really a smart choice. They aren't cheap and neither is your privacy. These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites. It's what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet. By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you and your parents. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web: At the end of the day, protecting your parents isn't just about warnings or knowledge. It's about cutting off scammers before they even get a chance to call or reach out in some way. Removing personal data from sketchy sites is the secret weapon here. It's simple, effective, and frees your loved ones from emotional traps. Isn't preventing contact better than trying to clean up the mess afterward?

Utah State Railroad Museum gets Western Pacific caboose; Merci Boxcar restoration complete
The Utah State Railroad Museum in Ogden has a new addition — a Western Pacific caboose — while the restoration of a boxcar that was a gift to Utah from France after World War II is complete. Museums at Union Station in Ogden manages the railroad museum and opens Western Pacific Railroad Caboose No. 438 to the public on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., when admission will be free. The recent acquisition is meant to complement the Western Pacific GP35 electric diesel engine acquired last year and bolster the representation from the now-defunct rail line at the Ogden museum. 'We've really tried to create a collection that shows both the locomotives and cabooses from each of the major rail lines,' said Hope Eggett, the Museums at Union Station administrator, and Western Pacific is one of the last rail operations that served Utah that was unrepresented. The Western Pacific cars — among more than 50 at the museum — are meant to help 'tell the story of the workers who worked on the railroad.' Meantime, Eggett said the restoration of the Merci Boxcar — given to Utah by the people of France in 1949 as a way of saying thanks for U.S. assistance during the post-World War II era — is complete. The unique gray boxcar, previously displayed outside Union Station, had fallen into disrepair and was sent last year to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to be restored by experts there at a cost of some $100,000. 'We are really eager for it to get back to Utah. We don't have a firm date yet, but we do expect it back soon,' Eggett said. A ceremony to welcome it back will be organized once it returns to Ogden. It had sat exposed to the elements, but upon its return will be displayed in a covered exhibition area to better protect it. Caboose No. 438 was built in 1955 and retired from service in the 1980s, when rail lines started phasing out use of cabooses amid technological advances that rendered them obsolete. It had been on display at the Inland Northwest Rail Museum in Reardan, Washington, and was acquired by the Union Station Foundation, an independent, nonprofit entity, for $16,000. 'With only a handful still on public display nationwide, this rare caboose captures the spirit of Western Pacific's golden era and stands as a testament to Ogden's role in shaping the West through rail,' reads a press release from the city of Ogden. Only 13 of the cabooses survive, Eggett said. Museums at Union Station is the umbrella organization that manages the Utah State Railroad Museum and gun and car museums, also housed at the historic railway station. The free museum entry on Saturday coincides with the Ogden Arts Festival, a ticketed event taking place at Union Station on Saturday and Sunday. Solve the daily Crossword
