Delete - Nothing in this article seems notable. Written like an obituary or publicity piece. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 23:40, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: I agree with After Midnight's disparagement of the style. I created the page (I can't now remember why - railway preservation isn't an especial interest) as a much trimmer stub, and a family member seems to have subsequently expanded it without providing any new references. But searching '"bob richardson" railroads' on google or google books makes me think the subject is notable, though some material might be better placed in Colorado Railroad Museum and I'd like to see it slimmed.
