We at the Eagle Rock Railroad Historical Society are saddened to learn of the passing of long-time member and former Society president, Leo Harker. Leo's contributions and impact to the Society are immeasurable. Among those many contributions are several scratch-built structures on the ERRHSI layout, including the Idaho Falls passenger depot, Idaho Falls freight depot, West Yellowstone passenger depot, and the Idaho Falls roundhouse. He won 1st place for the roundhouse at the 2003 NMRA Pacific Northwest Region 3rd Division Spring Meet. He also owned the original Idaho Falls modules which are still in place as part of the ERRHSI layout. Without Leo, the Society would not be what it is today.
Leo's presence and influence will be felt for many years to come. Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to his wife, Norma, and their family.
Please take a moment to enjoy these photos of some of Leo's work.
