April 16, 1972 - San Diego California

Soon Passenger trains will be run by AMTRAK and not Sante Fe; however, on this Sunday all the glory of the historic Sante Fe passenger service is on display. My employer, Telesat, bought its first Anik satellites from Hughes in Santa Monica California.  Sometimes I'd have to go to work in California.  These trips gave me an opportunity to ride trains that I would normally not be anywhere close to.
