In 1959, Lyle went to work for Burlington-Northern Railroad, working out of Fremont, Nebraska and Fort Worth, Texas. In 1999, he retired after 40 years of service.

Following his retirement, Lyle moved to Forsythe, Missouri, where he met Charlotte Kay Blount. On March, 16, 2006, Lyle and Kay were united in marriage at Corning, Iowa. He enjoyed genealogy, country music, gardening, selling gooseberries, and going dancing with his lovely wife, Kay at least 3-5 times a week. Lyle was a member of the Presbyterian Church and past member of Red Oak Lions club.
