ALDEN RANEY General This is the SPOKANE, PORTLAND AND SEATTLE section of the combined EMPIRE BUILDER/NORTH COAST LIMITED due out of Portland at 3:00 PM, 10 minutes after this picture was taken. Usually a NORTHERN PACIFIC coach and dome sleeper will be dropped off at PASCO, WASHINGTON for the NORTH COAST LIMITED out of Seattle and a GREAT NORTHERN dome coach and sleeper will be dropped off at SPOKANE, WASHINGTON for Great Northern's Empire Builder. The remaining SP&S equipment will be turned and retrace it's trip back to Portland arriving at 7:00 AM. This is the 5th different scheme applied to this locomotive with one more, a deep BRUNSWICK GREEN (Almost black) applied just before the BN merger. 6/3/2013 9:49:36 PM
