Concluding the Union Pacific 1957 Summer Tours series with the "PNW" Pacific Northwest tour, we start with this domeliner which was used by the tour group leaving Chicago all the way to its terminal in Portland. There they would spend the day on a motor sightseeing tour of Crown Point, Multnomah Falls, and the Bonneville Dam (among others) before spending the night at the Hotel Benson in preparation for a trip up the coast by rail the next morning.
