The only thing that I ever lost on a train was a jacket which was stolen on the Floridian in 1972. I was travelling overnight in coach and I had gone to the lounge car to have a beer. I left my camera bag on my seat and put my jacket over it. When I returned, the jacket was gone but the camera bag was fortunately still there. As I recall, in 1972 funds the jacket had cost about $30. The camera bag and equipment was probably worth about $250. I considered myself kind of lucky although it was a nuisance having to get a new jacket.
It was a beige Woolwich jacket. I had once spilled French salad dressing on the jacket. It left a large stain which never came out. If anyone sees the jacket, please let me know.
