The organization is currently working through a backlog of awards from years past.
The David P. Morgan Article Award for 2010 went to Eric Powell for “When Race Fans Took the Train to the Indy 500†in the summer 2009 issue of Classic Trains. The year 2011 article award went to Jack Holzhueter for “Olive Dennis: B&O Polymath†in Vol. 24 of Railroad Heritage, the publication of the Center for Railroad Photography & Art. The award is named in honor of the longtime Trains Magazine editor.
Powell, who has worked for the Indiana Rail Road since January 2011, wrote about special trains that operated on the Peoria & Eastern Railway to and from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway through 1963. “This is an enjoyable and informative article about a little-known operation,†Lyle Key, member of the R&LHS award committee, noted in the award citation.
