I took these pictures of Amtrak’s southbound Coast Starlight at the Amtrak depot in Salem, Oregon, on April 22, 2007. Leading the train, Amtrak #119 is a 4,250-horsepower P42DC that was built by General Electric in September 1997.
The trailing unit, Amtrak #118 is a 4,250-horsepower P42DC that was built by General Electric in September 1997.
The baggage car, Amtrak #1135, was built by Pullman-Standard in 1957 as Northern Pacific #409.
After Amtrak took over passenger service on May 1, 1971, it became Amtrak #1206.
It was renumbered to Amtrak #1116 in January 1977 and was rebuilt for head-end power in February 1982, becoming Amtrak #1135.
Amtrak Pacific Parlour Lounge Car #39975 was built by the Budd Company in 1956 as Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Hi-Level Lounge Car #580. After Amtrak took over passenger service on May 1, 1971, it became Amtrak #9975.
In August 1981 it was rebuilt for head-end power. In 1995 it was rebuilt as a Pacific Parlour first-class lounge car for the Coast Starlight.
