Camping out in Clyde Patterson's back yard in Arcadia in the mid 1960's? On a summer night with a late second district local, a Super Chief and a second section El Capitan, and stay up late for the #7 mail train. No 210 Freeway back then, and if you got bored, you could go watch them unload the race horse express cars at Santa Anita Depot, and catch a ride back with the crew? People had more sense and more fun back then.....

Or was it on a warm summers Friday night about 1968 with Carl Ragoza at the Monrovia Depot for the Super Chief/El Cap highball?

Today, definitely over a cold beer and a burger at the Fullerton Depot- with over 50 passernger and freight movements on a nice summer afternoon/evening like today?
