To
Like David, I no longer live in the States. Besides, I never started to smoke. Ditto with my wife, son and daughter, so I’ll pass on a Pullman ash tray. I still have a brand spanking new metal Conger hand lanturn stamped AT&SF (yes, with the “&”) that was issued to me just before I made the move from Dallas to Ansbach, Germany in late 1976. Matter of fact, I still have three others albeit sans railroad markings.
I made the tragic mistake of selling my switch key collection to a good friend in Texas when I made the move across the big pond. I could kick my caboose all the way to Kansas…I mean Texas…
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Having traveled aboard the Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver for many years, I recall many quiet afternoons semi dozing in one of the chairs in the Park car lounge at the tail end when, at certain speeds, the very similar ashtrays/drink stands would commence a certain annoying rattle which always eluded my efforts to stop. A small irritant to an otherwise always wondrous trip.
