BNA- 23 - Stampede Pass

This car was built by Pullman in 1950 for the NP's "North Coast Limited" as it's number 364, where it continued in service through the 1970 merger, and up until the 1971 creation of AMTRAK. This car was not purchased by them, and BN declared it surplus, storing it at Como Shops. When BN decided they needed a sleeper for Business Car use, they pulled this from storage and overhauled it in 1974. With the desire to eliminate the need for the "heater cars", this car was modified again in 1982 to provide "hotel power" for all Business Cars, by installing 3 diesel engine generator sets, it still retained three bedrooms however? (I wonder what it was like to sleep with three running diesels ?) This car was painted in the black and cream 'Executive' scheme in 1994, but is now painted silver.
