 Thanks for the information redward.

I just do not want anyone to get into problems, like all those people who downloaded music.

 A friend of mine sister worked as a nurse on the El Capitan. She said that the passengers were treated like Kings and Queens. The employees were very second rate.

My big question is. do you have permission to publish copyright photos?

Even though you showed "LIFE" in the corners. That does not give you permission.

 This was one fine posting.  Never was able to travel on the named trains out West.  But, thanks for all the interesting photographs.
