The North Coast Limited was Northern Pacifics premier streamliner that ran from Chicago to Seattle and Portland. Chicago Burlington and Quincy carried the train over its rails from Chicago to Saint Paul, and handed the train off to Northern Pacific to run on its Main Street of the Northwest. In 1948, the heavyweight train that originally began in 1900 was replaced with lightweight cars that ran with daily service. Beginning in 1952, the North Coast Limited was painted in the classic two-tone green paint scheme created by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. In 1954, dome coaches were added to the train. Northern Pacific required at least one flat-topped car between every pair of dome cars. Five or six complete trainsets maintained the rigorous schedule. 1955 saw the completion of the streamlined makeover when the Travelers Rest buffet lounge cars were added (Travelers Rest was a favorite Lewis and Clark campsite). A budget Slumbercoach was added in 1959. About 1967, the decline in passenger traffic required that the North Coast Limited be combined with Great Northerns Empire Builder.
