Flathead River was originally built by Pullman-Standard in 1955 as a 145-seat bi-level gallery coach for the Southern Pacific’s commuter service in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was originally Southern Pacific #3701. After the commuter service was taken over by Caltrain in 1985, all of the Southern Pacific gallery cars were replaced with new equipment and sold to Tillamook Railcar in 1986.
In 1992, this car was sold to Transcisco Tours, where it was rebuilt as #800534 and was named Lake Tahoe. It was purchased by Burlington Northern in 1994 and renamed Flathead River.
