[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Unfortunately, by 1969, the North Coast Limited had been noticeably downgraded for Pullman passengers. During 1967, the Obs-Lounge ("open only to Standard sleeping car passengers, "i.e. Slumbercoach keep out) was withdrawn. The Pullman lounge became a Dome Sleeper from which the individual seats were removed and were replaced with tables and bench seats. And as I noted on a Butte-Livingston 'joyride' during Jan 1969 (itinerary: SLC-Butte on Butte Special, North Coast Butte-Livingston, Greyhound Livingston Bozeman, Northwest Airlines Bozeman-SLC), the Slumbercoach was on the rear with the Sleepers, so I guess the stern warning earlier noted was gone. Even if I hold that Lou Menk was simply "the Housemother who clicked the lights before all the Brothers were drunk or ---", Chicago area railfans had a "nicer" epithet for him - [URL=http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=55301&p=584767&#p584767]"Menk the Fink"[/URL] - when he started to dismantle the "Q's" strong passenger franchise.
