Seattle -Portland pool service

UP provided the round trip out of Portland.

GN provided the round trip out of Seattle

NP provided the afternoon service; two train sets. One locomotive was Four Aces, 2626 ?

The overnights, primarily headend, were rotated. Five years?

UP used their track from Union Station to Black River, then Milwaukee trackage rights to Tacoma

Tickets fully interchangeable.

Photocopies from Official Railway Guides from me. mail@koona.net

Occasionally, 1945 to 1948, I'd come down to King Street Station to watch the 12:01 show. Oh, my!! (Railroads didn't use 12:00)
