40th Anniversary Train Cars
    Sleeper 10020, built in 1950 by the Budd Company for the Union Pacific as Sleeper #1404 and named, “Pacific Bend.” It contained 10 roomettes and 6 double-bedrooms, and joined the Amtrak fleet in 1971 as Sleeper #2603.  The car was upgraded from steam heat to Head End Power (HEP) in 1977 and renumbered 2903.  In 1997, the car was converted for service as a crew dormitory for use on eastern long distance trains, and renumbered 2504.  Stored in 2006, the car remained inactive until 2007, when it was modified for use by the Amtrak Police Department as a Special Communications Car.  It was renumbered 10020 and renamed “Pacific Command” at that time.  The original name, “Pacific Bend,” has since been reapplied and the car will serve as a Sleeper for Amtrak staff during the 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train’s tour.    
10093 Display Car 10093, built in 1953 by the Budd Company as Baggage car #3535 for the ATSF and transferred to Amtrak fleet in 1971, when it was renumbered 1049.  In 1978 it was upgraded from steam heat to Head End Power (HEP) and renumbered 1222.  Needing repair and no longer fit for service, the car was stored in 2007 at Beech Grove until selected as one of the three 40th Anniversary
Exhibit Train Display Cars.

10094 Display Car 10094, built in 1957 by the Budd Company as Baggage car #3547 for the ATSF, this car became part of the Amtrak fleet in 1971 and was renumbered 1061.  In 1978 it was upgraded from steam heat to Head End Power (HEP), and renumbered 1228.  Needing heavy repair, the car was stored in 2009 at Beech Grove until selected as one of the three 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train Display Cars. 2011

10095

Display Car 10095, built in 1953 by the Budd Company, started life as Baggage car #3512 for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) Railroad.  After transfer to Amtrak in 1971, it was renumbered as 1029, upgraded in 1978 from steam heat to Head End Power (HEP) and renumbered 1219.  In 2000, this car was one of three baggage cars rebuilt with bicycle racks for use on the Twilight Shoreliner, and was renumbered 1856.  In 2005, the car was stored at our Beech Grove, Ind., maintenance facility due to mechanical problems.  Selected for use on the 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train, it was the first of the three Display Cars completed by our Beech Grove, Ind., maintenance facility.

    40th Anniversary Store 85999, built for Amtrak by the Budd Company in 1976 as Amclub #20130, which featured a “split club” configuration of 18 club seats at one end, 23 coach seats on the other.  In 2000, the car was converted to Capstone Cafe car #85004 for use on the newly branded Acela Regional service. It was stored on July 31, 2005 due to an abundance of food service cars of this type in the fleet.  It was selected to serve as a combination 40th Anniversary gift shop and display car for the Exhibit Train, with work being performed at the Bear, Del. and Beech Grove, Ind. maintenance facilities.
