This
photo was the center spread image in the Sept. 1974 issue of "Trains"
Magazine. This is a scan from the magazine's printed page, complete with the
staple holes in the center! The caption info was on the preceding page in
the original magazine. I modified the caption to change the page info, and
have now inserted the caption in the lower right corner of the photo.
Those 3 cars to the front of where I was standing - the three with a few
windows of "two window heights" - were "sleeperettes" (IIRC), meaning that
they had the more-tiny private rooms, smaller than "roomettes", intended for
single occupancy.
Incidentally, if you look at the cars in the consist of the CN train (at the
left), there is one car, about the sixth car in front of where I was
standing, which is a bit higher than the others. It's "only" been almost 50
years since I took the photo, but I seem to recall that car was an old
Pullman-Standard "heavyweight", meaning each truck had 3 wheels, instead of
the more modern cars having 2 wheels per truck. I believe that car may have
been the dining car.
