March 26, 1939, R. H. Kindig Photo, Dave England Collection. Dave and Kindig took a couple railfan trips together, but this is a little early to be one of those. Don Strack Date: 09/26/16 15:01 Re: Railfans, 1939, on UP 810 Author: retcsxcfm Coats,ties and hats!! What irony.

We talked my Dad into going on a busman's holiday 4960 trip out of St. Louis in 60-61 and he wore slacks, sport coat, tie and hat. That's how they grew up.
