Special:
- The Pontiac brand was introduced by General Motors in 1926 as the “companion” marque to GM's Oakland Motor Car line. The Pontiac name was first used in 1906 by the Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works and linked to Chief Pontiac who led an unsuccessful uprising against the British shortly after the French and Indian War. The Oakland Motor Company and Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works Company merged in November 1908 under the name of the Oakland Motor Car Company. The operations of both companies were joined together in Pontiac, Michigan (in Oakland County) to build the Cartercar.
- The ’46 model was in fact a modified 1942 model with minor changes, originally designed by Harley Earl.
- The 1947 Streamliner Eight Series 28 was available as this 2-door Sedan Coupé, as 4-door Sedan, as 5-door Station Wagon and as 5-door DeLuxe Station Wagon.
- This first generation Streamliner (1942-1948) was assembled in South Gate (California), Wilmington (Delaware), Atlanta (Georgia), Kansas City (Kansas), Framingham (Massachusetts), Pontiac (Michigan) and in Linden (New Jersey).

Special:
- It has been said that, in aesthetic terms, sleek "torpedo" style and low streamlined runningboardless Cadillac, desined by Harley Earl, was to 1941 what Cord was to 1936, what Duesenberg was to 1929 and what LaSalle was to 1927.

Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- The original Series 62 was designed by Harley Earl, inspired by the space program and the era of jet engines. For the ’55 models, he introduced its unique rear-deck styling and outrageous new “Shark Fin” tail fins usually called “Rocket-Ship” tail fins.
- The name "DeVille" is from the French "de la ville" or "de ville" meaning "of the town".
- It came standard with knobby, P-38 inspired tail fins, radio, electric windshield washers, heater, leather interior, full carpeting (also in the trunk area), power seats and power windows.
- This Cadillac was built for comfort and not for speed: it’s a real cruiser and could carry six individuals comfortably.
- The 1958 Series 62 was available as this 2-door Coupé DeVille, as 4-door 6239D Sedan DeVillle (23,989 units built), as 4-door 6239 Sedan (13,335 units built), as 2-door 6239E Extended Sedan (20,952 units built), as 2-door 6237 Coupé (18,736 units built), as 2-door 6237S Eldorado Seville Coupé (855 units built), as 2-door 6267S Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (815 units built) and as 2-door 6267 Convertible (7,825 units built).
- This fifth generation Series 62 (1957-1958), and last Harley Earl design (the iconic ’59 huge tailfins with dual bullet tail lights were designed by Bill Mitchell), was assembled in Detroit (Michigan) and in South Gate (California).

Special:
- The Imperial name had been used since 1926, but was never a separate make, just the top-of-the-line Chrysler, until 1955 when it was launched and registered as a separate luxury marque.
- The new "Fuselage Look" with rounded "tumblehome" sides, bulging at the belt line, and tucking in down to the rocker panels was designed by Elwood Engel.
- This new styling made the cars look longer and wider and surrounded the passengers in a hull-like fashion, similar to an aircraft, hence the reference to "fuselage".
- The 1970 Imperial (Chrysler) Imperial Crown Series was available as this 4-door Hardtop and as 2-door YL23 Hardtop (254 units built).
- This fourth generation Crown (1969-1973) was assembled at the Jefferson Avenue Assembly, Detroit (Michigan - USA).

Not long after Rio Grande and Southern Pacific merged, a shippers' special was run in Oregon to celebrate the new combination. The train ran for three days, two of which were on the hallowed Siskyou Line. With 16 passenger cars, diesels from both DRGW and SP, and the SP 4449 steam locomotive on the point, this train became THE railfan event of the year.
Just west of Yoncalla, the special splits a pair of classic Style B semaphores. As it turned out, this trip was one of the last hurrahs for the Oregon Timber Industry. In a year and a half, the Northern Spotted Owl would be listed as an endangered species. By December 1994, only six years away, the Siskiyou would be on the verge of being transferred to shortline Central Oregon & Pacific.
It was almost a perfect day.

I bypassed the shot at Hoffman since I've sort of worn it out lately, but then of course I was stuck going into downtown. I headed back east on Kellogg St to hop on the freeway to go west all the while cursing myself for getting stuck in downtown traffic.
As I headed across the bridge, he was RIGHT THERE. A quick look in the mirror revealed only a couple of cars quite a ways back so I quickly developed "engine trouble" and jumped out for the shot.
My engine trouble miraculously cleared up as soon as the train passed under me. Imagine that. Ya just never know with an old truck.
