Used to be a part owner (1/20th share) of Mountain View and rode it about 10 or 12 times, to Colonial Williamsburg, Cape Cod, Pittsburgh, Boston.  Sometimes combined with a business trip.

In 1959 enjoyed its services on the real 1st-class Broadway itself.

But rode with Richard Horstmann in 353 more often, about 18 or 20 times.   Once, Seattle - NY via the Moffat.
