203A: brother and sister take a train trip

I am seeking a c. 1930’s-40’s reader, probably about 3rd or 4th grade level, in which a brother and sister take a train trip to visit another boy in the country. An illustration shows them having breakfast on the train. There are eggcups on the table, and the text refers to “freshly squeezed orange juice.” I believe that the cover may have had an illustration with orange detailing and black lettering. The book was a discard, given to me in 1953.

Thanks for any help in identifying this long-lost book.

    Elizabeth Enright’s “Gone Away Lake” opens with a very similar scene, as Portia and Foster travel from the city to visit their aunt, uncle, and cousin in the country.
