Talking about TV programming, anyone remember waiting for the Indian in the test pattern to make a move.

I would guess only us old folks remember test patterns.
How did people ever survive with just 3 black & white channels that were only available from 7 am to midnight.
1963 U. S. Congress - underground trolley system Disneyland train (1968/various other dates) Old Tucson steam train (1969)
Amtrak - California Zephyr Coast Starlight Southwest Chief Sunset Limited Texas Eagle Illinois Zephyr
. . . . Amtrak miles - 16,383, so far. 7,320 more miles booked OTM - OKJ - EMY - OTM March 2018.

Shortwave radios and Ham radios were more popular back then.
I've ridden: ~ The Empire Builder 1981 ~ The Coast Starlight 1981 ~ The Texas Eagle ~ The Sunset Limited ~
Books: ~ Time-Life - The Old West ~ The Railroaders * Rail Ventures - 4th Edition
I think it is absolute mythology that there's any national system that is profitable. And I think the naysayers just have to get over it. ~ Amtrak President Alex Kummant ~ June 2008
