I think the most enjoyable but not exotic was riding in the Western Pacific Business Car No 101 from Portola to Elko. I was the only one on the car except for the porter and cook. Really enjoyable sitting on the observation platform at the rear of the car and watching the state of Nevada go by and some of the best food I ever had. I worked for the WP from 1969 to 1973 as a Personnel and Training Officer and I know it was the most enjoyable time in my life.
