J N Landreth's Chair

In 1969 I had the good fortune to get a tour of Santa Fe's Coast Lines (Belen-West) General Offices in Los Angeles. I got to see the big situation board that showed the location of all passenger equipment and locomotives. The highlight was sitting in General Manager J.N. Landreth's big swivel chair. This was all done on a Sunday of course, and I was being escorted by a Santa Fe employee.

Maybe the second most exotic place, was in the cab of an CP Baldwin in Nanaimo, B.C.in 1972. My friend and I were invited up in the cab (ah...Canadian hospitality) while they switched the ferry slip.
