Built in 1948 by Pullman Car & Foundry just for the Northern Pacific Railway to serve on the North Coast Limited Route. Passengers enjoyed the luxury of rail travel at the time, able to view the back of the train and have a porter serve drinks with the push of a button from their seats. The wall separating the bedrooms could be opened to make one large suite for large families traveling. When the passengers took their shoes off at night, they set them in a locker accessible from the hallway. The porter would shine their shoes while they were sleeping, so they were good to go when they woke up. When the passenger was dressed for the day, they alerted the porter to come make their bedroom for the day while the passengers ate in the dining car and came back to relax in the observation car. During the 1950's, other railroad companies had many more upgrades and luxuries. This was also the era when road and air transportation were taking the majority of the business from railroads. The Northern Pacific immediately thought of upgrades and got this observation modernized for the era. Despite Raymond Loewy's efforts to repaint this observation car, ridership continued to decline, and the Spokane Club car was sold to a private owner in 1966. In 1970, the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad purchased this observation for management and business people in Maine. Throughout time, new owners didn't show much interest. The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railroad owned this observation car until a train transporting oil caught fire, causing the railroad to go bankrupt, and the equipment had to go. For $1, a private owner purchased this observation in 2015 and had it moved to the Northern Pacific Railway Museum in 2017. Today, it awaits repairs in the fenced area of the property.
