Northern Pacific Railway Parlor Car 1049

Parlor car 1049 (later 1799) was built by Pullman in 1901 for the Northern Pacific Railway. It served that railway for almost 40 years – including service from Seattle’s King Street Station – until it was retired and subsequently purchased by a railroad executive and moved to Whidbey Island for use as a seaside cottage in 1941. In 2018 it was donated to the Northwest Railway Museum and moved from Whidbey Island.
