Biography of Frank H. Beberdick
Frank Harry Beberdick, born in 1927, is a long time resident of the town of Pullman, IL. His interest in locomotives began in high school and led to positions in the maintenance departments of the Columbus, Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad. A walking tour of the Pullman community and shops inspired him and ignited his volunteer work as archivist for the Historic Pullman Foundation.
