This is the SPOKANE, PORTLAND, AND SEATTLE's PORTLAND, OREGON section of the combined Empire Builder, North Coast Limited. The train left Portland, Oregon at 3:00 pm and dropped off a dome coach and a dome sleeper at PASCO, WASHINGTON for Northern PACIFIC'S NORTH COAST LIMITED and continued on to SPOKANE, WASHINGTON where it dropped off a dome coach and sleeper for GREAT NORTHERN'S EMPIRE BUILDER. The remaining SP&S portion was turned and retraced it's trip back to PORTLAND arriving at 7:00 AM. The first car was purchased 1966 from the MKT which used it on their TEXAS SPECIAL. F7-A #805 is in it's 3rd paint scheme and F3-A # 801 is in it's 4th paint scheme.
