The Santa Fe ran the El Capitan, but I don't think it had anything to do with the Rock Island.

The El Capitan was a Santa Fe train and the French Toast was a specialty on many Santa Fe trains. Following is the recipe:
1 cup light cream (half & half) 4 eggs 3 slices bread cut 3/4 inch thick 1/4 teaspoon salt Confectioners sugar Vegetable oil
Cut firm homemade style bread into 3/4 inch slices. Trim crusts and cut into triangles. Combine beaten eggs , cream and salt. Drip bread triangles into mixture, allowing them to absorb as much custard as possible. Fry in about 1/2 inch of oil pre-heated to 325 degrees. When one side is golden brown turn and brown on second side. Turn only once. Place on a shallow baking pan and allow to puff in a 400 degree oven for three to five minutes. Drain on paper toweling to absorb excess fat. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve immediately. Serves three people with two triangle slices each. Add condiments and meat of your choosing.
