  1. The Mount Olympus 4-1 Sleeper-Buffet/Lounger-Observation car, not numbered by the SNCT. Ex-Solano Railcar, nee-CBQ #483, nee-CB&Q "Minneapolis Club". Built June 1946 by Pullman Standard. Originally painted and lettered for use on Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited, sublettered for its actual owner, the CB&Q. Photos of The Mount Olympus.

  2. The Dungeness River Coach-Bar-Lounge, 26 seats. Ex-Amtrak #3280 nee-ATSF #1398. Built by the Budd Company in 1938 for use on the Kansas Cityan and the Chicagoan. Originally transferred to Amtrak in 1971, off the Amtrak roster by 1980. Photos of The Dungeness River.

  3. Boxcars 1000-1099 (100 cars) Ex-McCloud River cars owned by ITEL. Brown cars with white lettering. Some cars continued to carry "MRI" road markings.

  4. Boxcars 1100-1299 (200 cars) Built new by Pullman-Standard in Birmingham, AL, owned by BRAE. Green and yellow cars with white and yellow lettering.

  5. Steel cupola cabooses. Neither rennumbered by the Seattle & North Coast.
    Ex-MILW 991608. This caboose was in service on the Port Angeles line for many years. Towards the end of operations on the SNCT, it was parked on the grade at Port Townsend when the brakes failed and it rolled down the hill striking several parked autos. It remained in MILW paint and lettering during its use on the SNCT. Currently on display at Finn Hill Farm in Agnew, WA, along with other SNCT and MILW memorabilia. Photos of #991608

    Ex-MILW 991604 (photos coming!) was rebuilt and painted following 1608's accident and shipped to the peninsula for use. This was probably a waste of money as the railroad did not last long after that. Today the 1604, still in SNCT green paint, is used as an office by Spath Landscape Supplies at the corner of West Sequim Bay Road and Washington Harbor Road in Sequim.

  8. X-1211 exMILW tool storage car. Originally MILW 712901. 40' MILW single sheathed composite end boxcar built by Bettendorf in 1925 as part of a series of 1000 cars. Originally used for lumber loading (retained its end door for long timbers). moved to steel gang use, then to track department as a tool storage car.
