Saga of Friendship Remembered on Memorial Day Stops
For 58 years the Chicago and North Western train 106 has paused near Elrod South Dakota to honor a boy known as The Little Fellow. Big Bill Chambers befriended him in 1888 and kept his grave cared for, a ritual carried on by crews and family each Memorial Day with flowers and prayers. Every year passengers learn the story of their enduring bond.
