CB&Q E9A #9995, an E8A or E9A, and a GN F Unit, are the power for an unknown passenger train either in the years right before, or sometime right after, the BN merger. This could very well be the EMPIRE BUILDER, as all the cars visible are GN: 2 streamlined heavyweight baggage express cars (1st in Big Sky'Blue, 2nd in Green & Orange), a lightweight baggage-express (in Green & Orange), and what appears to be a "long distance" 48 seat leg rest chair, also in BSB. Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate 35mm slide, brand is unknown. Photographer is unknown; date, month, and year are approximate. |
