Yes, that diesel smoke odor brings back memories. This video appeared on my YouTube home page this morning. I'm watching it now.

@pdkoester, WOW! Reel #176! I wish there were more of the old Northern Pacific "North Coast Limited" passenger trains, and "Main Street of the Northwest". Also Milwaukee's Hiawatha and Great Northerns Empire Builder. All fairly rare finds in Trainz.

Arguably one of the worst eras in Espee history. Only the 1980s was worse but this decade set up what was to become their downfall. Curse you Benjamin Biggani.
