    R O U T E O F T H E Vista-Dome North Coast Limited ek BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners HO North Coast Limited Budd Dining Cars (NP 459-463, CB&Q 458) #173-29 for Con-Cor Conversion, #173-89 for Walthers Conversion Six full dining cars were delivered by Budd in 1957-58 for the Vista-Dome North Coast Limited. They were the last full diners built before the advent of Amtrak. They displaced the Pullman-Standard dining cars NP 450-455 to service on the Mainstreeter. The Budd diners operated between Chicago and Seattle until the end of BN service in 1971. Dining cars were cycled in and out of eastbound No. 26 at St. Paul Union Depot and were serviced at the nearby NP Commissary. Five of the six cars were purchased by Amtrak in 1971 and operated in the North Coast Hiawatha, and later in the "Heritage Fleet", particularly on the trains between Chicago and New York and Washington. A typical summer consist for the North Coast Limited of the late 1950's and 1960's is listed below.

  • N Budd Vista-Dome Coach Sides for GN Empire Builder and NP North
    Incomparable empire builder r Vista-Dome k North Coast Limited eq BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners Budd Dome Coaches [Part No. 173-520] The Budd dome cars probably contributed more to the aesthetics of postwar rail travel in North America than did any other innovation. Already popular trains of the "Hill Roads" were immeasurably enhanced for nearly a generation with the addition of these distinctive cars. In mid-1954, the Northern Pacific Railway added two 46-seat dome coaches to each of the five consists of its North Coast Limited. The Great Northern followed suit a year later by replacing three 48-seat leg-rest coaches with three distinctively furnished dome coaches in each of its five Empire Builder consists, plus a 16th car as a spare. An additional dome coach (#549) was received by the NP in 1957. During the off-season, the Empire Builder operated over at least part of its route with only two dome coaches, and the Western Star received a dome coach between St. Paul and Seattle. Amtrak purchased all of these cars and operated them at one time or another on a number of its trains outside the Northeast Corridor. Car numbers and ownership for the NP, GN, CB&Q and SP&S were: North Coast Limited: NP 549-556, CB&Q 557-558, SP&S 559 Empire Builder: GN 1320-1331, SP&S 1332, CB&Q 1333-1335 BRASS CAR SIDES has produced HO sides for these illustrious prototypes for many years and was pleased to add N-scale versions in the summer of 2008.

I appreciate the Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT’s) efforts in updating this plan— particularly by continuing to examine alternatives for enhancing passenger rail service in Montana. And while Chapter 4 discusses both the Empire Builder and the possibility of reinstating passenger rail service in southern Montana, my comments focus on the latter, as I take it as a given that the continuation of the Empire Builder will remain a priority for the state. In addition, my comments relative to the restoration of passenger rail service in southern Montana boil down to one main point: the two-tiered Amtrak study requested by MDT is inadequate to address the true feasibility of reinstating passenger rail service through southern Montana due to its limited focus on intrastate service. This appears to be largely a function of the original scope of work assigned to Amtrak by MDT, as described in section I.A of Amtrak’s Feasibility Report on Proposed Amtrak Services in Southern Montana (Amtrak Report). Let me elaborate. The Tier 1 analysis focuses on Billings to Missoula. Given (i) the meager projected ridership along this route, (ii) the capital investment necessary to put this intercity line into service, and (iii) the fact that the state of Montana would be responsible for a significant amount of the initial capital outlay and ongoing operational costs, it is extremely unlikely that this limited route is a feasible undertaking.
