DOGGY-- After Amtrak took the train over in 1971 it usually had the following: An ex-GN baggage-dorm 1, 2 or more Budd dome coaches (usually ex-CB&Q, ex-GN or ex-NP) 2 or more flat-top coaches (many of which were ex-Santa Fe or ex-Seaboard Coast Line) An ex-GN Great Dome lounge A diner (often ex-NP) 2, 3 or more sleepers. Most often the sleepers were 10-6s. Just about any other configuration then used by Amtrak also might be found. Before the SDP40s were delivered, the train usually was hauled by combinations of ex-GN and ex-NP F units, several of which had been repainted into BN's Cascade Green and white passenger scheme. E8s and E9s (usually ex-CB&Q) also appeared in some engine consists. --John
