The car was built by Pullman-Standard in 1952 as Milwaukee Road 58, sometime after May 1, 1971 it became Amtrak 9382, retired by Amtrak in May 1977, sold to Railway Exposition (W.F. Sprague & T.B. McOwen) as dome-lounge 382. . After the CSE, the car was repainted into its original Milwaukee Road colors and in 1998 was sold to American Orient Express where it received Amtrak private car #800265. Stored in Denver, then moved to Western Junction, WA in 2001. Donated to Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum after the AOE shut down in 2008, but by this time the vandals and elements had rendered the car practically unrepairable. Later stored at Indiana & Ohio in the Cincinnati area, the car was scrapped in November 2009. |
