TilE CAR HOST ROSTER

This itl the first atte;:.pt to get the Car 1I0st l1atter retlolved in the October Trainnaster. For those of you Hho have been fo l l o<1ing tilis neu systen you '1ill once again have to read the fine print to see "hat is going on. Apolo&ies to the Excursion Coamittee from the editor for not delivering a clear explanation in the earlier Trainnasters . The list that appeared in the September issue was incorrect and the li"t that fol lous "hould be more correct if not perfect.

Tile original recommendations by the Excursion COlmittee to the Board of Direc­tors stated that all "ho had been members the t\10 previous years \lould qual ify as Car Hosts" I:leaning of course that the person �JOuld have had to have been a meraber in 1932 and in 1933 to qualify in 1981,. The summary of those recot1tJendations appearing in the Trainmaster stated only that y�:)U needed tllO years seniority, uhich could be interpreted as qualifying ",eDbers i\, the Chapter in 1983 and 1<)81,. llecause of this discrepancy and the fact that\many of the 1933 r:'leubers have already served as Car Hosts on one or more excursions and therefore have a HGrandfather'· right, the coc1I.littee has decided that for any Car 1I0st signups in 19.3/" nenbership in 19J3 and 1984 uill suffice .

"As announced at the Sep teuber business ;,Ieetine trIO Car ilost list priI\ted in the Septer.lber Trainna"ter did not have the nameD in the correct order.

4449 REVISITED by BRUCE BUTLER

For steam fans, the highli;;ht event of 1934 \las the Portland-;leu Orleans round trip of forG.er Southern Pacific 4449 pulling an cleven car train painted entirely in SP Daylight colors. Jerry Quinn anti I f,.ade plans for a l1eekend of train chasi,,!> and photoaraphy on the Portland to Lanath Falls portion, and then things Bot conplex; I \>las Bcheduled by III conpany for class in Los Angeles Hay 7-11. Jerry and I and r,lY eldest son, Fred, left Spokane Thursday evening the 3rd. I had an airplane ticket fror., Sacratlento to LA for the evening of the 6th, but nothins definite yet for gettinfj fror.l Klauath Falls to Sacranento. A stop at the Bi" Pasco yard yielded SO!Je eight shots of sor.le idlin3 GE pmler. \Ie \Jent do'.m the llashinzton side of the Columbia r..iver the next day and na\jT sone action on the I,d, including a freight leavin;:; IlishraI.l bound for Bend. \lishran still has a good sized yard and the railroad beanery is still open for business.

We arrived in Portland about 5pm and found 4449 on display in Union Station. The train ,JaS also spotted on another track. They "ere fillin;; the tank tliti. oil. 4449 had received a year lone rebuilding in preparatioa for this trip and a close inspection revealed many areas that had recent attention.

The engine and train "ere siuply beautiful in the oragne and red Daylight colors. Eventually a Bi! suitch engine sholled up to pull 4449 fron the display track and onto the point of the train. Several checks \lith Pacific ilorthuest chapter people turned up a name of a r;entleI.Uln uho lIished to sell the I<lalilath Falls - SacraI:lento portion of \,is ticket. A phone call to his Clotel to set up a neet uith hin in Klamath Falls, and then He uere ready for soue night shots. He had lots of coupany; rail fans frm.l all over the USA {Jere there. lie spent the night sleeping in fly truck in the Dialilonu parking lot in front of Union Station.

This uas a spectacular vie" llith a fireboat in the river shoot in:.; a p1ucle of \later in salute.

It 'JaS here that I first noticed the train number board carried the nunLer 1;9:'7 the train uUi:lber for tile Shasta Day­li8ht! After sor.le Hro1l3 turns and back roads ue eot back to the freeuay and headed south� joining others at a nice underpass location on, as it turneLi out, the Ore[;on Electric :BiJ;. The Hhistle soon told us of our mistake. \Ie uauuered around in Eugene before locatino; the depot, this turned out to be a real \:lob scene and ANTl:Al( uas in tmm too, so ue elected to head out for a fair bridge location just east of toan.

SUMMARY OF MINUTES - REGULAR CHAPTER MEETING - AUGUST 17, 1984

page 7

The meeting was called to order by Chapter President Rich Carlson at 7:48 PM.

Finance Committee: Jeff Asay reported that the finance committee met last Tuesday with Treasurer Larry Miller to discuss the Chapter's financial condition resulting from the New Orleans excursion. Unpaid debts total about $80,000. This amount could be reduced to $50,000 if disputed amounts are resolved in the Chapter's favor. The committee is continuing its audit of the trip. Ben Fredericks asked of anyone is notifying the Chapter's creditors of our financial condition. Rich Carlson re­plied that he has written to those creditors needing the information most urgently.

,

Excursion Committee: Mary Lou Weaver advised that car host applications are avail­able from Jack Pfeifer. John Von Gaertner will be excursion personnel director for the balance of 1984 with Jack Pfeifer taking over the position for 1985.

Membership and Hospitality Committee: Rich Carlson announced that Kathy Weiderhold has resigned from the committee chairmanship and that he has appointed Connie McCready to be the new chairman.

Publications Committee: Chairman Al McCready reported that Roger Phillips is the new Publisher of The Trainmaster. In the future financial information will be con­veyed to the membership via The Trainmaster.

Vancouver, B.C. Excursion: Ben Fredericks reported that orders are coming in more slowly than expected. Ads have been placed in The Oregonian, the Columbian, This Week magazine and The Valley Times. Only 189 ticket orders have been received as of today. We need 450 to make the trip viable. The Odyssey Club will make a special mailing to promote the trip. Rich Carlson advised that the Chapter is shooting for at least 500 to make the trip worth while. The next payment to Amtrak for the trip is due on�ugust 28th.

Locomotive 4449: Rich Carlson reported that the Chapter board has voted to run the 4449 light to Salem to be on display during the Oregon State Fair. However, the locomotive will not go to the fair due to insurance costs of $8,000 to $10,000. It is still possible than an excursion may be operated to Eugene in October.

Rich Carlson announced the appointment of Ben Fredericks a manager of Sales and Media Affairs. Ben has also been appointed to the Excursion Committee.

Rich Carlson announced the appointment of the committee to nominate Chapter officers for 1985 as prescribed by the Chapter by laws. The committee members are: Jim Whaley, Jeff Asay, Dave Van Sickle, Roger Phillips and Walt Grande.

Cachet Envelope Sets: Rich Carlson announced that complete sets of cachet envelopes for the New Orleans trip have been offered for sale.by means of an announcement in the NRHS national news bulletin.

Rich Carlson announced that a 4449 slide, movie and memorabilia meet would be held later in the year.

September Swap Meet: Bill Gano asked for six volunteers to help with Chapter sales at the swap meet to be held in Vancouver, WA on Sept. 29th.

OCTOBER 19B4 THE T RAINMASTER

THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE by Rich Carlson

When one thinks of autumn, it is usually October that comes to mind. For most people, it is one of their favorite months, and the bright days of Indian summer are meant to be savored and enjoyed before w e enter the rainy days of November.

Page S

We had hop ed to b e able to run 4449 one last time this month on SP's tracks from Portland to Eugene and r eturn, but r egretably the railroad's response was n egative. Our intent was to utiliz e the passenger equipment still at Brooklyn Yard and recoup some of the losses suffered on the Louisiana World's Fair Daylight trip, which losses I am happy to say, do not now appear to b e as severe as they were first r eported to be. In fact, by virtue of our re­serv es, donations and late payments, we were able to pay the bills outstanding and along with us the creditors all breathed a sigh of r elief.

It appears w e may still have a few additional payments due us, but they are not of a magnitude that they will enable the trip to end up in the black. So, again, w e thank all of those persons and organizations who have contributed and helped the PNWC-NRHS w eather the rough p eriod and aid in k e eping the chapter viable and strong.

Ticket sales for the " British Columbia Special" picked up some after Labor Day, so the chapter's excursion trip ran as planned. It was a r eal delight with perfect w eather and a paid-passenger load of about 353, plus 2 2 staff from the chapter. This was sufficient to allow us to break even and perhaps even earn a few dollars. The Amtrak-provid ed meals were fresh and tasty, and the Sunday brunch s erved by the Hotel Vancouver was not only beautifully laid out, but delicious and most abundant. I heard but one complaint on the entire 3-day event, and that was late on the return from someone who didn't like the TV lights in his eyes! By the way, Rogers Cable­systems will likely do a one-hour special on the trip, with airing in late November. We'll keep you posted on time and date. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to sell the tickets and work the train to make it a great success! I know everyone enjoyed it.

Other items: The LWFD Commission, having received everyone's thoughts, is now preparing its report. . The Nominations Committee will name their selections for officers and board prior to the Oct. Business Me eting.. . 'I have named Bob Hoffman to chair th e Rolling Stock Committee, and added Carl Rodabaugh to that group. . In order to prepare a budget for 1985, I have requested each Committee Chairman to submit their r equests as soon as possible to me, Larry Miller, or Jeff Asay. The president, treasurer and Finance Committee are charged with formulating the chapter budget,

Don Hunter, official photogrspher on the LWFD trip, shot a remark­able number of color slides, which he duly delivered to me. I have now requested Ben Fredericks, Terry Parker and Alan Zimmerman to review them all. with the idea of making up Bets of maybe 80 duplicate repre­sentative slides as the chapter's official visual documentation of the excursion trip. These sets would be sold by the chapter. The idea for this came from Walt Grande, who felt the chapter could bene­fit considerably from this resource, and I could hardly agree more.

The selection trio will come back with their recommendations on how many slides to comp�ise the set or sets, the selling price, etc. I am sure m&ny of you will want to order a set whether you traveled on, chased or otherwise followed the progress of the train, which ranks ai tbe Bteam event of the decade.

Jim Whaley advises that they have Bet "4449 Day" for Friday, No���ber 23, which is the day following Thanksgiving. Get to Jim and tell him what you have to show, present, display, whatever, so his group can give it the attention it deserves! The layout they finally select will also depend on what the members have.

Finally, Bob Leachman has offered the chapter the opportunity to make some money by selline a special "4449 Daylight" calendar, which will feature six large color photographs taken by his son, Dr. Rob Leachmsn of Berkeley, California. Priced to sell at $7.95, it will be an attractiv� souvenir of the "Louisiana World's Fair Daylight." Allow 60 to 90 days for delivery, as production got off to a late start for a 1985 �alendar! Send your order with remitt­ance to PNWC-NRHS, "4449 CRlendar", Room I, Union Station, Portland, Oregon 97209. The calendar will come shipped in a mailing tube.

WHAT THE REVIEI. !lAD TO SAY ABOUT US RECEHTLY

Portland� OreGon ! In their nost recent publication� the Pacific l10rthucst Ci.lapter of the NRHS indicated that the orsanization sustained a Llajor financial loss in operating the steau-pouered Louisiana Exposition Uayli0ht earlier this year. The total costs for operatinG the train betlleen Portland and aeu Orleans totalled close to $5, DUO, QuO \lith lonses estiuateu in the $50, JOO to $60,000 ranee. The Society is solicitin� donations and loans froTI its 300 l'aenbers. Al­thouLh it is highly unusual for the Editor of the Bay Area RevicH to reCOi.1enU donations to orr;anizatioIlD other than our mID, the Pacific Horthueat Chapter de­serves both our tliunks and uhatever assistance ue miGht personally render� i'lost railfans in llorthern California either rode or ptlOto(;raphed the Exposition Day­light and countless more vieued its passat,e. Future operations of the 4449 could be clouded by the current debt faced by the Society� so itis to our fllutual advantage that ue offer ultatevcr .:litl possible� • . . Lastly, tlle Chapter is leasinJ their sleeper loun0e car ::Ht l100dH to an affinity group for a trip betuecll Oak­land and Denver and return. The Dayli�bt-painted nilt Bood" uill leave Oakland behind Autrak I s dCalifornia Zephyr\' on October 4tll, returning to Oakland fron Denver on October 9th.
