Nostalgia & History > a surprise Centennial!Date: 07/05/25 11:14 a surprise Centennial! Author: santafe199 I was doing some more routine filing -endless chore- and I ran across this scan from my late friend Jim Watson. It just sorta jumped up and said “post me”. So with a nod to the Western Pacific here it is. (And I don’t s’pose my pal x6924w will put up much of a fuss... ;^)
1. UP 6908 w/ a GE sibling + 3 WP guests at Echo Canyon, UT on June 5, 1980. Original Kodachrome slide by James W. Watson. Thanks for looking back!

Nothing like finding this while listening to the Top 40 of 7-6-74 on the 70s channel.
Thanks to Lance and Jim!! Date: 07/05/25 11:49 Re: a surprise Centennial! Author: santafe199 I’ll bet Steely Dan’s ‘Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’ is high on that list! (DJ Sir L)
