I'm doing research on a train that used to run between Pembina, North Dakota and Winnipeg, Manitoba. I don't know when it started or stopped running between the two towns, but I do know I rode it as a kid in the 1960's. If I remember correctly, it was metallic silver like an airstream trailer, and wasn't a very long passenger train. It may have been the last passenger train to make regular runs out of Pembina. I want to find out more information about it, and hopefully some photos. Any ideas on how to find out more would be much appreciated. THANKS! Trish Lewis http://56755.blogspot.com
Trish- This should have been a Northern Pacific Railway train. My closest information at hand, dated 1959, lists it as trains 1-13 (northward), and 14-2 (southward.) The silver unit you describe, I'm betting was a Budd RDC. (Rail Diesel Car.) These came in several different models. So I can't be more specific than that right now. Not everything you seek. But it should be a start. Boxcab E50
