Thank you, Hart -

You were so lucky to have an adventure like that!! Sounds like a great three days,
finished off with a wonderful trip. I was only 7 years old in 1949, but do remember
being hoisted up into the cab of a Santa Fe steam engine for a quick look while she
was stopped at the depot in Glendora at about that time. It was probably the 4-4-2
that pulled the San Bernardino evening local in the late 40's, but I really don't recall
any details.
