Portland Rose Passenger Cars

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I am looking for information regarding the passenger cars used on the Union Pacific Portland Rose, some car names were ‘Crusader, Gorgeous, Ideal, Killarney’ and several others, all ending in the word ‘Rose’ I believe.

Were these heavyweights or streamline cars, any matching names/numbers, colour schemes, I am making decals and have come up with some information, but could do with more.

Did these actually carry a rose image on the cars and was there a tail sign on the last car.

Any photos or reference to any would be really appreciated.
