GN # X838 is a self - propelled diesel line car, it was used on the electrified section of the Cascades for maintenance work on that section of the line. This same vehicle can also be found on: www.gngoat.org/diesels.htm

GN # X838 can also be found on: www.trainweb.org/passengercars/Indices/DB3.htm Judging from the other GN motor cars listed there, it closely resembles those built by EMC. GN # X838 is formerly GN # X2804 which worked out of Skykomish before being converted to the Cantenary tower car.
