Our baggage car 1512 served as an express agency car for many years. No photograph of it is known to exist that was taken during its Northern Pacific years. Pullman built the identical 1511 at the same time as a part of a group of six express cars
delivered in 1915. NP business car Madison River, also at the Lake Whatcom Railway, has its observation platform sneaking into the left side of this photograph taken in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Look at how Northern Pacific is aliened on the Letter Board.

We regret not being able to run our trains for your convenience when there still is a threat of contagious spread of the virus, which we won't do until we're certain that there is no chance any more, but we can utilize the time to do some maintenance on some of our valuable equipment that isn't often used in revenue passenger service.
