Thank You, Randy -

That confirms my memories from close to 66½ years ago — nearly 2/3 of a Century!  Seems I'm holding up better than expected!!

I've seen Ann (no 'e') Marie in operation at the Pacific Coast Railway (photos at [ngdiscussion.net]), and HIGHLY recommend a visit to Ardenwood to anyone living anywhere near the east side of San Francisco Bay who hasn't yet been there!
