| Amtrak Starlight gets out of Portland for Seattle. E-8 340 is ex BN and ex CB&Q 9946A. Note the little herder shed. |
 |
| Amtrak 340 and BN 9945 lead the northbound Starlight out of Portland, Oregon in 1972. Still lots of business on Front St. |
 |
| BN E-8A 9949 makes a switch move by VC Tower, Portland Terminal. Unit will singly take a train to Seattle, one of the old Pool Train schedules from pre-Amtrak days. |
After the inception of Amtrak in 1971, BN transferred former Burlington E-Units to cover Portland-Seattle Amtrak service. Units were seen in BN green, Amtrak paint, and several versions of the Zephyr scheme.
