Re: An Answer to the San Juan Question . . .

Dang, Ed -

You beat me to it again!   Butt I should have known you'd have all the lyrics - all I could remember was,

        "Pretend that you have constipation
        "While the train is in the station,
        "Do not flush the toilet 'til we leave . . . " *

- which isn't even correct, apparently.

I do remember that the toilets on all of the Rio Grande three-day excursions in the early and mid-sixties were of the 'open hopper' variety, and that the doors to the "Johns" "Dons" were locked while we were in Alamosa, Durango and Silverton.  I don't specifically remember the doors being locked in Chama, but assume that they were locked there as well.

* Maybe you, Earl and I should record "Humoresque" as a single, with "The Ballad of Festus Frothjaw" on the 'B' side. We MIGHT sell a dozen or two!!
