Ah, my last full year in Seattle. King Street and Union Station were 8 1/3 cents away from home.
Union Pacific was responsible for the round trip out of Portland; Great Northern - the round trip out of Seattle - Northern Pacific, the 12:01 PM departures (thus, the only company needing two train sets) The overnight, primarily head-end train, traded every five years.
Did Union Pacific turn their train?; the coach wye is the only place, short of Black River.
Before UP bought E's, their Seattle power was 800s and 3900s. NP used Four Aces.
Yes, I believe the Train of Tomorrow cars were seen here regularly. A safe place for unique cars.
