Steam & Excursion > UP 844 6-29-1990 Idaho, Snapshots From Video of CNW Cars+Others

T.O. Member MJV1988 commented about the CNW passenger cars on this trip, from a previous video I posted a few weeks ago, of this Idaho/Wyoming centennial trip. Here's the best I could come up with, a few snapshots from yet to be posted video. These CNW Cars may have been included at The Governor's request at the time? Not Sure. I think the CNW car near the rear of consist is "Lake Bluff", while the CNW car near the front of consist is obviously "Lake Forest". I'm guessing the Governors, at the time, were more familiar or comfortable in these cars? Again just a wild guess why these CNW passenger cars were included on this trip in 1990. Pic #1 and #2 are the best I could Cap from my video of the rear CNW car, Pic#3 is of the forward CNW car.

Again snapshots from video, Pic#1 is of 3985 Bob? and #2 is a favorite of my (Then) Father in Law Ken, in the background, holding up a soda can high in one hand, and big track track bolts he found in the other hand, standing next to the big drivers of 844, wile 4 kids stand in the foreground.

Safe to say the governors neither knew nor cared, much less requested.

As an old Pocatello,Idaho roundhouse foreman once told me: "Don't get caught working, you might get fired!".
