Be sure to share the information with us. When I was a pup, the president of the Santa Fe, Mr. Fred Gurley, invited my Dad and me to a private excursion on the then new "El Capitan" two level observation cars from Washington, DC to Point of Rocks, Maryland and return. It was an evening excursion with meals and special treatment and was really exciting for a youngster like myself. I spent a lot of time as a kid around trains, but this was a bit special. There was a hard cover menu provided for dinner, and I asked Mr. Gurley to sign my menu. I still have it.
