Paul Woodring	General	This is just sad. Car was never owned by Amtrak, but by noted Railroad author and UP historian Bill Kratville, who leased/loaned it to Amtrak in exchange for his being allowed to use it a couple of weeks a year on the back of Amtrak trains. Obviously, since Bill died it has fallen on hard times. Anyone know why the fluted siding was removed, and if it was saved? Possibly to prevent further corrosion of the side sheets?	4/4/2014 12:40:32 PM

Greg Smith	General	I just received a link to this photograph. What a huge shame. I rode this car in 1972 to the NMRA national convention in Seattle. I was under the assumption it was an ex CNW sleeper car that was later converted to an obs by Auto Liner in Omaha	4/16/2014 11:01:42 AM

James Holzmeier	General	Greg Smith: built by Wabash Decatur Shops in 1954 for Adolphus Busch of Anhueser-Busch fame. He was a Director on the Wabash RR Board at the time and found out that the RR President, Arthur Atkinson, was having his own office car built, so Gussie arranged for his car to be built too.	5/12/2017 4:28:52 PM
