Another Oswego. A little haze from Canadian wildfires affects the scene as Amtrak 8 (Empire Builder) was eastbound through Oswego, Montana on Wednesday, August 4, 2021, with Webb Rail's former Northern Pacific Railway Budd built dome/coach 549 (WEBX 801045) and former Northern Pacific Railway Budd built Pullman dome/slpr 313 (WEBX 801044) holding the markers on Wednesday, August 4, 2021. Oswego, Montana is named after Oswego, New York, the name taken from the Haudenosaunee phrase meaning “the pouring out place" according to the State University of New York, referring to its waterside location. Oswego, New York has a lengthy railroad history with lines from the New York Central, New York, Ontario, and Western and Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroads that came to the already busy port city, but it was the Great Northern Railway (today BNSF) that put Oswego, Montana on the map. There are seven communities and a river with the name Oswego across the United States that have been named after Oswego, New York.
