Well, for both the Eastbound trip to Sacto on the "POCKET" RDC SP-10, Train 226, as well
as the Westbound trip on the SENATOR, Train 224, on the same Saturday's adventure, the train crews just happened to recognize my grandfather, Vic Shattock, and asked if "the boy would like to ride with them" ... He politely told them "NO"-- as he said that WE didn't want to "leave Mrs. Shattock alone back there" !! Huh ?? Hell, he could have sat with her and keep her company while "the BOY" had a couple of thrills of a lifetime. Oh well !

That was 59 years ago-- times change !!
