Speaking of Patton. I took Carl Mydans (famous Life magazine photographer) out to Patton's old marshalling area and then we followed the tank tracks which were still visible north up toward Las Vegas. He got a lot of photos of that and it was really interesting to me.

Well, the trains weren't stopping. Patton heard about it and when he heard the next passenger train coming he went out and stood right in the middle of the tracks with one of his guns drawn.
