I was like 10 when Have Gun Will Travel came on.

Having heard of telegrams but not ‘Wire’s’, I thought that was his first name.

You know, Wire Paladin.

My Father worked for the Southern Pacific his entire life after getting back from Germany (Patton’s 3rd Army) in 1945.

He always told us kids “NEVER MESS WITH THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC GESTAPO”, they would rather shoot you than talk!

The SP ran the freight and commuter trains on the San Francisco Peninsula for decades. They ran the 1930s commuter cars until the 1980s when CalTrain took over. My God, those were decrepit, worn-out, filthy passenger cars with no AC. It was like stepping way back in time.

On Virtual Railfans (a YouTube channel) you can see containers with open doors. They know what is in there...

What? No reference to Butch and Sundance?

The RR can hire their own security.
