This was quite dramatic in those days, air-conditioning on trains. I was on the station platform in Yuma and two women got off the train and said, "Oh, it's so hot. Let's get back on the train." So I took this picture and told the advertising manager about what I'd overheard, and he was absolutely intrigued. I don't know if they used this in an ad, but on trains you used to nearly die it was so hot." (Roger Sturtevant, interview with Joyce Minick, transcribed in catalog sheets, c. 1977)
