DLMX Crew Sleeper #9201 "Clackamas River"

DLMX Crew Sleeper #9201 "Clackamas River" in Wishram, Washington, on June 7, 1997

Pictured in Wishram, Washington, in the consist of an excursion train with Southern Pacific Daylight GS-4 #4449, #4449’s crew sleeper #9201, the Clackamas River, was built by Pullman in 1941 for the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Chicago & North Western's City of San Francisco as 10 roomette-5 bedroom sleeper Rincon Hill. It was transferred to Southern Pacific in 1947 as #9201 and was retired in 1966. The Friends of SP 4449 acquired it in 1990 from a private individual in North Dakota. Though it is a Southern Pacific car, the Daylight paint isn't correct as it was only used on day trains, not sleeping cars.
