Note the "Pullman" green and gold paint scheme beautifully restored.The car moved from the NYC roster onto the Penn Central roster and renumbered PC #4. When Conrail inherited it, the car was repainted Conrail blue and renumbered #1. Finally the car was sold to a private owner in 1992 who refurbished the car to approximately a 1930's style but with modern conveniences which met Amtrak regulations.
