BNA-20 - Big Horn Pass
This car was originally built by Pullman in 1951 for the GN's re-equipped "Empire Builder". In GN service it was known as "Pinkerton Pass" and numbered 1371. Arriving in the "EB-scheme" it was repainted in the late 60's into the then new "BSB-scheme", which it kept until shortly after the merger, when it was repainted into the green/white scheme. With AMTRAK taking over all passenger trains in 1971, this car was held by BN and in 1974 it was transferred into it's Business Car fleet and renamed "Big Horn Pass". This car is currently in service in black/cream painted colors.
