Nice catch, Bob. 

I think that's Dale Adams doing the hand-up.  He loved roses, as you can see from his little "garden" in front of the station.

Interesting detail, often wondered what was going on with the roses, really nice touch.

My old Amtrak schedule shows there was a Seattle-Salt Lake City sleeper, although the rest of the train hung a left at Ogden 30 miles from there, where it combined with the City of San Francisco. Was that single-level car right behind the locomotive that car? I rode the Pioneer in 1993, but I slept right throught Ogden so I didn't see what switching activity went on there. Was there a dedicated Amtrak engine that just shuttled that car between Ogden & SLC?

Are you sure late 80s ? The first car was a 10-6 sleeper with a ex Santa Fe transdorm ?
