Most of the black and white photos in this gallery were taken with a Kodak Brownie camera that used 620 film. The quality varies greatly. The photos have been run through photoshop with varying results. The photos were taken between 1950 and 1952. A
northbound International behind E7 511 is stopped at the Bellingham
depot. The Internationals were delivered as five ccar trains -
mail-baggage, two coaches, coach-cafe and parlor-observation. However,
right from the day of their inaugural runs extra cars were needed at
times to handle the number of passengers. These extra cars were drawn
from a pool that included 1947 Empire Builder Day-Nite coaches, GN's
unique pendulum coach and modernized heavyweight coaches. The second
car on this International is one of the latter.
