_____ We are excited to announce the Great Northern F7A/F7B set; the F7 units, with silver trucks, and the re-run of the popular Great Northern passenger cars in 3 sets of 4 cars each to give you a 12 car consist. The GN F7A, F7B and the F7C units sported the very popular Great Northern Orange and Green. The "Empire Builder" ran from Chicago to St. Paul/Minneapolis via the CB&Q and then via the GN Railway to Seattle along the northern tier of states through the Cascade mountain range and through the Cascade tunnel and Glacier National Park in Montana. In Spokane, a section of the train went on to Portland via the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway. Head end power consisted of 3 locomotives as an A-B-A combination. There were other trains these cars could be used on that were operated by the Great Northern such as the "Internationals" between Seattle and Vancouver, "Western Star" between Chicago and Seattle, "Dakotan" the "Winnipeg Limited" and others.
