I stumbled across an extract from "Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take": Railway Journeys by William D. Middleton
that contains a description of the author's journey aboard the Hudson Bay in August 1998. You can read it here. The entire Hudson Bay article is present and can be read online. In 1998 the train had two FP9s for power, instead of the usual one or two F40PH-2s nowadays. The train itself was pretty much the same as it is today, with one baggage car, two coaches, diner ANNAPOLIS, and sleepers CHATEAU VIGER and HUNTER MANOR.
