I rode on her three times: Once when I was adopted and twice when we picked up my sister from the adoption agency four years later. Only rich people took airplanes back then.

“I rode on her three times.”

Wow. What a great memory that must be!

In 1951 I was five years old and loved the war bonnet paint scheme on the Santa Fe F-7 diesel.

Have an n-scale model and love looking at her.

IMHO

Went from Amarillo to Chicago on the Chief on our way to visit family in Flint Michigan, back when it was part of the US.
