| | That would be Omaha Orange and Pullman Green with black undercarriage. A narrow stripe of Imitation Gold separate the orange and green bands. | | | |

| if it is a streamlined car, the earliest it could be would be from the 1947 Empire Builder which was pulled by either E7's or E8's for the most part. if it is a heavyweight car, some were repainted in EB Or/Gr when the Oriental Limited return in 1948-51, but that was also pulled by diesels; F-units from what i've seen. some operated as late as the 60's. i have a picture of #1032 Minnesota on the NP Western Star (1966)
the diner behind the Empire Builder pulled by the S2 should be in the #1030-1051 state series of 36 seat dining cars, but painted in Pullman Green w/ gold lettering. | | | |

| What car was it? A month ago my son and I saw an Amtrak Train leaving Pittsfield, MA with the GN Observation Car "City of Spokane", taking up the rear. Below are the previous posts:

Wouldn't it be cool if they were the same car? | |
