My wifes mom sent us this picture and told us that the conductor (with head out engine window) is her aunts husband. His name was Pappy and he worked for the railroad for many many years. I never met the guy, but I guess he rode all over the country in the 40's - 60's.

 

The only train I ever rode was the one at Disneyland :/

This book is issue #11, but I'm not sure the date.

Trains rule. My grandpa worked for the Santa Fe his whole life as a brakeman, and cook on a wrecker. Going to take the grand-daughter to magic mountain this summer, Eugene to Santa Barbara on the Starlight Express.

Too late for that. He's already gone to that great train station in the sky :angel:
