Certainly all railroad men do. For even when you work every day on the railroad, the glamor of engines and trains and tracks never dies out. In this little booklet we take you behind the scenes on Southern Pacific showing you how to tell our locomotives apart and what the signs and signals mean. There is a good reason for every sign, signal, rule and regulation on Southern Pacific, and most of them are based on safety. "Safety First" is drilled into every one of us from the very first day we start in the service. You may think of a railroad in terms of trains and tracks. Actually the Southern Pacific Company is 60,000 men and women. The trains and tracks are only the tools with which we work. For example, a locomotive is simply a machine controlled by men. These men know that hundreds of people on the train behind are depending upon them for a comfortable trip, smooth starts and stops. They take more pride in doing this job well than you can possibly imagine, unless you've been an engineer yourself.

  • NATIONAL FORUM PAR 1207 (6 Roomette / 4 Double Bedroom / 6 Open Section Sleeper)
    NATIONAL FORUM PAR 1207 (6 Roomette / 4 Double Bedroom / 6 Open Section Sleeper) PAR 1207 NATIONAL FORUM ON TRACK 13 AT LAUPT, APRIL 2006 PHOTO BY MARTI ANN DRAPER History of the National Series Sleepers In September 1954 the Union Pacific Railroad placed an order for twelve 6 Roomette 4 double bedroom, 6 open section sleepers. Originally the cars were to have been named after famous hotels in Las Vegas, NV. (e. g. Desert Inn, Sahara, Sands, etc.) Pullman preferred to have all cars of one type named using a series system. Union Pacific accepted this and chose “National” for the name of the series. In November 1954 the Wabash Railroad added three cars to the order for their contribution to the City of St. Louis. The Nationals were the last passenger cars built with open sections. Assignments included such trains as the City of Portland, City of Denver, and City of St. Louis. Numerous changes in the passenger traffic occurred on the UP during the late 1950's and early 1960's. By June 1968, the cars were relegated to secondary service on the Portland Rose due to reduction in passenger traffic on the UP and the discontinuance of the City of St. Louis. By December 1969, the Portland Rose was history and the Nationals were idle. During the 1970-71 ski seasons, the UP Los Angeles passenger office operated numerous ski trains to Sun Valley and special excursion service utilizing the idle Nationals. The first use of the Forum by PRS was in September 1970 its trip to Yellowstone, and in April 1971 Farewell to Salt Lake Route.
