Whistlestopping

I found this vintage Burlingame item on eBay:

ANDERSON FOR PRESIDENT pamphlet
SIGNED IN PERSON
JOHN B ANDERSON
1980 Presidential Election
Up for auction is a campaign pamphlet SIGNED IN PERSON by JOHN B ANDERSON during his 1980 presidential bid.
Anderson, running as a Republican for President, made whistle stop speeches in California to campaign.  He gave a speech from a train stopped in Burlingame, CA then later signed items for folks.  This is how I got his signature on this political literature.  He signed cover in black ink.  Inside, someone put x's through the name of some of the opposing candidates' information (not me, I was a kid at the time!).

 

Does anyone remember this whistlestop?

I recall a good size crowd at the train station on that day. Most exciting part of the day was when the police (maybe secret service also?) wrestled some 40-ish yr old guy who was yelling stuff. Not sure if he got arrested or just detained. Exciting times at the Train station.
