Oregon Short Line Wooden Passenger Cars
This page was last updated on October 2, 2020.
(Return To UP Wooden Cars Index Page)
Roster is arranged based on car numbers after 1885 and before 1915.
An extensive renumbering took place in 1897-1898 when OSL became independent from Union Pacific for a brief period. The cars were changed from their UP 1885 system numbers, to OSL's new numbers, and retained the new numbers when OSL returned to UP control, until UP again renumbered almost all equipment systemwide in 1915.

The following comes from the plaque accompanying the display in West Yellowstone:
Named for the year it was built, the Oregon Shortline 1903 was constructed for $16,685 as an executive rail car for the Vice President of the Union Pacific. In reference to E.H. Harriman's Presidential rail car, the Arden, which was built in 1900, some who rode on OSL 1903 said, "We out bested Old E.H. on this trip". The charm of the wooden exterior and interior construction was typical of that period. It was retrofitted in 1915 and was renamed OSL 150 at the time.
In 1935, the car was given as a retirement gift to E. C. Manson. He sat it on a stone foundation next to the forest, just 3 blocks west of here. Various owners used it as a summer home, maintained it's luxurious interior, but forgot it's historical significance until its real identity was revealed when photos were discovered in the Smithsonian Institute of the completed car in front of the Pullman Factory, the other an interior shot with the original furniture.
In 1995, this museum-quality rail car was relocated, and the Holiday Inn was built around it.
The following comes from Ralph L. Barger's book "Union Pacific Business Cars, 1870-1991," page 121:
Wood body, composite underframe, length 70' over end sills, 6-wheel all metal trucks, with 36" steel wheels, 5" x 9" journals, gas and electric lights, axle generator system, Baker heater and steam heat, wide vestibules, and observation platform. Value on June 30, 1916 was $15,765.
[Photo] In the Pullman photo to the right, it is evident that OSL 1903 had a combined dining and observation room similar to UP Coal Co. 016 which became OSL 151. No floor plan or side elevation drawing has been found for this car. (Smithsonian Institution Photograph P6868)
[Photo] Below is the finished OSL 1903 at Pullman's Palace Car Shops in 1903. With its early 1900 styling and decoration it was very handsome indeed. (Smithsonian Institution Photograph P6863)
(View a scanned image of the above information, including the two photos)
"You'll find it in an amazing location – inside The Branch Restaurant and Bar at the Holiday Inn, just down the street from the depot. The car, Oregon Short Line No. 1903 (numbered for the year of its construction) is displayed (sans trucks) in the lobby of the hotel restaurant. It has been beautifully restored, and best of all, you can walk through it." (Jim Wrinn, Trains.com, August 20, 2015)
General Notes:
- OSL Business Car 1903 was built in May 1903; renumbered to OSL Business Car 150 in February 1915; retired by UP in December 1934.
- The car was built with a steel underframe.
- Built by Pullman Car & Manfacturing, May 1903, Plan 1906A, Lot 2987
- Displayed at the Holiday Inn in West Yellowstone, Montana.
