If you want to reciprocate, I can always use a trip report....

And I will tell you that was teh PTT in effect that summer, when I took 9 and 10.
Now, the things I distinctly remember of that summer:
- Sometime in Wyoming (Laramie, maybe?) the dome lounge was cut off, and and we had a flat-top lounge (River/6100 series)
- Again, sometime on the trip, we had a 4800 series (ACF, 1949) diner, vice the dome diner.
I still have a UP plastic streamliner swizzle stick from that trip. I've talked more than once about the upper berth windows in the section on the backhaul. Mom finally realized I was too big to easily sleep with her at 10 years old.
That was an awkward age. I know that later, I slept with my bride aboard an Amtrak Deluxe BR lower, but married people fit together differently than do a mother and son.
Mom left this vale of tears two weeks and a little more ago, but I can tell you this was a fun trip for all of us who went.

My condolences for your loss. I'm sorry about the timing, but I hope this also helps bring back some happy memories.

Mr. Pullman, if the Funeral Home at which your Mother is being prepared offers a web condolence book, perhaps you may wish to share same here. I'm certain from this group, thoughtful comments will be added.
