Railroad Police Officers have a rough, dirty job. They work tough environs and deal with hard, dangerous people and situations, and their efforts are largely overlooked or just plain unknown to most people. I didn't know you were murdered in my home town.
My Great Grandfather was a PRR Conductor and Brakeman. Guys like you kept him safe from criminals and thugs. Thank you.
Rest in Peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 88th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Patrolman Gaffeney, today marks the 86th anniversary of your murder. You gave your life helping to protect one of America’s most vital assets, the Railroad. The memorial to you does not say if the suspects were ever caught, but caught or not by the justice system, I trust they faced true justice for their crimes, if not in this world, then in the next. They have become a forgotten footnote in history; you have become history itself and have not been forgotten.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Far too often railroad police officers are not noticed or not acknowledged. I am glad to see Patrolman Gaffeney honored here. Justice may be blind, but these officers are the healthy eyes of the rails. God bless Martin J. Gaffeney, and his fellow high-iron officers for their work and sacrifices.
