Trains at Salem, Oregon, on April 21, 2007

I took these train pictures in Salem, Oregon, on April 21, 2007. Leading the southbound Coast Starlight at the Amtrak depot, Amtrak #112 is a 4,250-horsepower P42DC that was built by General Electric in August 1997. 

The trailing unit, Amtrak #117 is a 4,250-horsepower P42DC that was built by General Electric in September 1997. 

Here is the Coast Starlight stopped at the Salem depot.

The dining car and Sightseer lounge car in the middle of the train are in front of the depot.

This was a bit of a rainy day for the passengers that got on and off the train.

Here's one last view of the train at the depot.

Amtrak #34105 is a Superliner II Coach that was built by Bombardier in 1995. It wears Amtrak's current Phase VI lettering scheme, which was introduced in 2003, but shadows of its original Phase IV scheme can still be seen.

Amtrak #34510 is a Superliner II Family Coach that was built by Bombardier in 1995 as Amtrak #34110, a standard Superliner II Coach. In 1997 it was converted to a Family Coach with a play area on the lower level and renumbered to #34510. It still wears its original Phase IV lettering, which was introduced in 1992.

Further south in the Salem yard, Union Pacific #1836 was built by General Electric in September 1987 as Southern Pacific #8036, a 3,900-horsepower B39-8. After the Southern Pacific was merged into the Union Pacific on September 25, 1996, it was upgraded to a 4,000-horsepower B40-8 on January 29, 1999, and became Union Pacific #5645 on August 31, 1999. It was renumbered to Union Pacific #1836 on April 15, 2004.
