Lone Star and Sunset Ltd |
| Description: |
The Lone Star (on the left) had arrived from Chicago a couple of hours earlier and will be serviced and cleaned overnight by the Amtrak crew based in Houston. This crew also watered the Sunset Limited (on the right) when it passed through town every other day. This was the westbound Sunset headed to Los Angeles. The dome on the Sunset was an ex-CB&Q car built by Budd in 1954 (the info I have says it ran on the NP North Coast Limited?). It was a 4 duplex single room-4 roomette-4 double bedroom car rebuilt in 1967 with a buffet under the dome. The dome seats were rebuilt as lounge seating. It looks like an ex-Southern sleeper back of the dome (the Southern Crescent was taken over by Amtrak a month or two before). This was probably the transcontinental sleeper (NY-LA). |

SLRG #304 |
| Description: |
Built in 1954 by Budd in Lot #9669-141 to Plan #9535 as CB&Q dome 4RM-4SB-4DB sleeper #304, 1 of 10 such cars built in that Lot, which was ordered in March 1953 for the NORTH COAST LIMITED, cars were delivered between September and December 1954. CB&Q owned 2 (#304-#305), SP&S owned 1 (#306), and NP owned 7 (#307-#313). In July 1957, NP ordered an eleventh "protection car", #314, which was built by Budd in Lot #9669-210 and delivered in December. In 1967, 6 of these cars (#307-#308, #311-#312, #314, and #304) were reconfigured to Lounge in the Sky dome buffet (club) lounge sleepers #375-#380 (Plan #9535A), the #304 was reconfigured to #380 in May. A buffet-bar service area was added with the removal of 2 of the 4 single bedrooms underneath the dome, with tables installed in the dome. This allowed NP to remove the 6 ex-CLUB series sleeper buffet lounge round end observations from the NORTH COAST LIMITED consist. In 1970, the unmodified cars were intended to be renumbered as BN #1440-#1444 and the Lounge in the Sky cars as #1450-#1455, but these numbers were not applied; however some cars were repainted to Cascade Green, but with the NP numbers. In 1971, Amtrak acquired these 11 cars as #9210-#9214 (unmodified cars) and #9220-#9225 (Lounge in the Sky cars), the #380 as #9225. The #9225 was stored and later sold in November 1985 to Ansco, which acquired the #9211 (ex-#306) at the same time, and also acquired from another party the #9212 (ex-#309). The #9211 was refurbished in 1987 as the CALIFORNIA in Rio Grande Aspen Gold & Silver, and the 2 other cars were sold; the #9225 to Dave Varilek, who planned to apply the name SILVER PILLOW to the car. In 2014, Iowa Pacific acquired 5 Budd cars from Varilek, including the #304. EXIF: 3:03 PM, f/3.2 @ 1/800, ISO-100 |
