This one looks like a real fixer-upper. Perhaps someone will give it a good home. Perhaps it will become someone's home. Pullman Railroad Business Car |

Could this be Huntington's old car, or was it just named "Oneont" to evoke his car??? Joshua joshua@joshuakblay.com |

"Oneonta" is the name of a creek and falls located in the Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon side of the river. The NP ran over what is now the UP mainline, which is on the Oregon side, in the early early years. Both the NP and OR&N (UP) were owned by Henry Villard at this time frame I believe. The cars build date would fit the years the NP operated over this stretch of track. Smokebox > Could this be Huntington's old car, or was > it just named "Oneont" to evoke > his car??? > Joshua |

I have a "Preliminary Edition" of a complilation entitled "Passenger Cars of the Northern Pacific Railway: An All-time Roster: 1870-1970" by Lorenz P. Schrenk in 1993. Here is the information of one entry: Oneota Wood Sleeper Barney & smith unknown date unknown length Ex-StP&O 14Sec Sleeper Oneota. To NP sleeper Oneota, 6/00 to Bus. Car 11, 2/06, Steel underframe, Pullman, 1921. To supply Car X-583, 1/42. To Outfit Car X-139. Hope this helps Brian Norden bnorden49@earthlink.net |
