Charles Franklin Denny Jr was a PFC in US Marine Corps during World War II and he entered the service from Kentucky.
Charles was photographed in 1941 as a fireman who was shown
waving from the cab window of the world's first Diesel-
electric road-freight locomotive - the Southern 6100. The train was shown crossing the Cumberland River Bridge near Burnside, Kentucky and the photograph was taken by M. H. Linn, then a lieutenant, Special Services and Freight Claims Department.
Taken on September 19, 1941, the photograph was soon recognized by experts as one of the outstanding railroad pictures of all time. It has appeared on the covers and on the inside pages of nationally circulated magazines and newspapers. Charles was the son of C. F. Denny, night chief dispatcher on the CNO & TP at Somerset, Kentucky. He joined The United States Marine Corps on May 6, 1944, and was killed in action on Okinawa on June 13, 1945."
