I added some courier nurses to my new Walthers Hi-Level El Capitan.

Mid - Late 1950s

 

Late 1960s - Early 1970s

Yes, I made on LA-Chi trip coach on the hi-level El Cap and remember the courier nurse.   I remember it as one of the best coach night train trips I ever had.  I did not have much reason to have contact with the nurse and spent a lot of time in the lounge car and lingering at the last settings of meals.  It was is the off-season, and the train was combined physically with the single-level Super Chief.

I remember not only the courier nurse, but the Indian guide.   Wink
