The October 1989 edition of Headway Magazine included a 25th Anniversary overview of the RTD, with extensive detail provided by PBM Member Jerry Squier.
Among the many details we learn about the RTD, we also learn a few things about Jerry Squier:
Gerald (Jerry) Squier was both an “RTD Senior Planner and, also a local transportation historian”.
“Squier’s father was a conductor with Pacific ElectricRailway Company. ‘I used to ride all the Red Cars with my father, so I got to know all the different lines.’ Squier has been employed with the RTD for 16 years.”
Inset below: Senior Planner
Gerald Squier clarifies the
historical schematic of
mergers, acquisitions, and
dispersals that make up the
Southern California transportation scene.
