Thanks Kozzie Brisbane, QLD Oz Hi Kozzie, The Northern Pacific's Mainstreeter and North Coast Limited both ran Chicago to Seatle and back, the Mainstreeter was number 1 WB and number 2 EB. The North Coast Limeted was number 25 West bound and number 26 EB. The white lettering on the side of the F Units said "MAIN STREET OF THE NORTHWEST. railwayray Sagle Idaho USA [/quote]
