Our friend Raymond is a great fan of travel by passenger train. His knowledge is encyclopedic. In the last several years, he has apparently been collecting train china, which are displayed in two beautiful china cabinets. Today Clare and I were there for Clare’s birthday dinner and I began the work of hanging ten framed train prints in their great room. I got two up today, so eight remain.
Googling “Golden Rocket” today, I learned that this was a named passenger line connecting Chicago and Los Angeles in the 1940s. However, one of the two partners (Southern Pacific) pulled out and service was never begun. But china had been produced and here is a small plate. :) (It may look like a dinner platter, but on a return visit — to hang more frames — I saw that it’s not a dinner plate. For salad? Bread? Unclear.)
