In 1948 we were heading west from Houston to California in our non-air conditioned '47 Dodge. We had spent the night in a rather basic "motor court" on the west side of Deming. The Espee mainline was about 300 yards away and as I stepped out the door with my Kodak box camera in hand the Sunset Limited was pounding its way west. I took a photo but was of course disappointed when the resulting print showed a subject that was so small that you couldn't tell what it was. <br /> <br />Back in those pre Russelburger days the Espee took pride in its passenger trains and during our ensuing trip west, the company had erected a number of billboards asking just how you were enjoying your sweltering ride and suggesting that the next time you take a relaxing air conditioned ride on the train. By 2pm even my cash conserving mother was in complete agreement with that suggestion. 110 degrees was about the limit. <br /> <br />Ben
