Zinter brothers seek closure for their father in Havre

Two brothers, on a mission for closure, came to Havre this week to see Great Northern Railway Steam Engine 2584, a sister engine to the one their father died on back in 1945 in a crash.

Brothers Gary and Ervin Zinter, who arrived this week in Havre by train from St. Paul, Minnesota, lost their father, also named Ervin Zinter, to a train crash with Engine 2581 in 1947 when the former was only 5 years old and the latter was only 5 days old, and they view this trip, in part, as a quest for closure.

"I felt like it was something I needed to do," said Gary Zinter "... I was kind of on a mission."
