1950's Super-Chief ON BOARD SERVICES

graemlins/confused.gif 1950's Santa-Fe Super-Chief: Can anyone tell me if it was possible to send a wire from the moving train? I have read things that suggest this was possible. Can ANYONE help?
I've looked at the '41 & '49 booklets but they do not say diffinitively. I'm writing fictional story about the train in 1952 any help with this point would be appreciated!
[I also model in N Scale AT&SF in the same period]

I'm sorry that noone has added anything to this here. I really thought someone would know for sure. I THINK that this was possible from the train but I'm not 100% sure. I'm glad to see that you are an N-Scale modeler of the ATSF. So am I, but I'm doing the early 70's through early 80's. smile.gif

Hi Pete,
I have a couple of pals in California who might just know for sure. I'll get back to you on this one
All the best DAVY

Hi Pete according to my pal Vern Johnson in Fresno , CA he's pretty sure you could send wires from the train back then.
