Western Railroad Discussion > Four Commuter Psgr. Cars Going WestDate: 07/09/05 11:56 Four Commuter Psgr. Cars Going West Author: hoghead22 About midday today four old doubledeck, center door commuter coaches are going west out of Denver in a UP freight train. No lettering on them. Destination? Buyer?
Date: 07/09/05 12:35 Re: Four Commuter Psgr. Cars Going West Author: Macster Hmm, wonder if this may be for Golden Pacific Railroad... which would be heading to Tacoma, Washington. Does make some since if they are heading West...

Thy have purchased several of them. Date: 07/09/05 19:17 CA Bound Two Commuter Psgr. Cars Author: cozephyr Believe you caught UP's North Yard, Denver, CO, to Roper train, M NYRO 09 with UP SD70M 4079, 4512 and 9522. Train has four ex-Metra commuter cars now operated by UP; 904844, 904847, 904845 and 904843. They've called the Denver Diesel Shop, AKA ex-D&RGW Burnham Shops, home in recent months. A couple of these may end up at Roseville, CA. Train left Denver July 9, 2005.
Date: 07/09/05 19:53 Re: CA Bound Two Commuter Psgr. Cars Author: 830-east I noted two of these cars stored in the UP yards in Spokane on July 2nd. They were UP 904846 and UP 904848. UP uses these in MofW service. They are ex-RTA cars in the 77XX series.
