That's interesting, Greg. But I'm surprised that by 1959 trains were not using head end electrical. As I stated, I took the City of Los Angeles in 1959, in fairly modern cars made by ACF. When did trains change from steam lines to electrical power? If that is the case, you are most likely correct in that what I remember was oils and a variety of other smells from those steam lines that together created a distinct odor thoughout the train. Thanks for any other information.
