There is one place setting with this B&O Centenary pattern on display inside the California State RR Museum's ATSF Dining Car "Cochiti".  As a  docent, it's fun to ask visitors to look at this pattern and to look at the trains shown around the edge of the dinner plate.  They show the evolution of motive power from a horse-drawn carriage from 1836 all the way to a large modern B&O steam locomotive.  The slightly large dinner plate underneath includes one more loco after the large B&O steamer - an EMC EA diesel.

Those paper napkins are a ahock to my system, as is the apparantly plastic tablecloth.
