As a 15 year old kid I rode in the cab of the Southern Pacific's San Joaquin Daylight <br />from Martinez to Crockett for which act of deliberate rule breaking the engineer <br />was punished with a ton of demerits at the hand of the assistant trainmaster, <br />Cy Napper. Mr Napper also made it pefectly clear that I was no longer welcome <br />on railroad property. Ah, but it was all worth it! A few months later the superintendant <br />of the Salt Lake Division offered to let me ride the cab of the City of San Francisco <br />from Ogden, Utah to Carlin, Nevada. I declined for fear of jail time in light of my <br />previous experince. <br />Now my choice would be: DONNER PASS in a blizzard. <br />There never has been or will be any railroad quite like the mighty SP! <br />
