Drew, you may not be aware that the coaches in the train also have an Oregon connection. In your fourth picture the first two coaches and the trailing combine are ex-Vernonia, South Park & Sunset Steam Railroad (Banks to Vernonia, Oregon), ex-Pacific Great Eastern Railway (British Columbia) and ex-Oregon Electric Railway (SP&S) rolling stock. Also the third coach appears to be a rebuild of another one of the ex-OE coaches. In the late '60s I pulled those coaches behind ex-Oregon-American Lumber Company 2-6-2 #105 on the VSP&S prior to their sale to the Black Hills Central.
