DRGW 102 was fitted with six-wheel trucks, the interior tastefully arranged into two elegant staterooms, all lined in natural-finish red gumwood. It was air-conditioned in July 1941 and was modernized sometime in the 1950s with addition of sealed windows. DRGW 102 was retired in December 1964 and was sold to private ownership until 1971 when it to a msueum in Plymouth, MN.
