Ted Brumberg General Car on the right was built in 1946 by AC&F in Lot #2910 as a NYC baggage (with end doors), 100 cars total, #9100-#9199. Amtrak acquired 66 of these cars as #1180-#1199 (1974) and #1210-#1255 (1976). The #12xx-series numbers were not applied, many of which were intended to be renumbered into lower #11xx-series numbers, which were also not applied. Several of the #1180-#1199 cars were converted to HEP, and several of the #12xx-series cars were selected for conversion to HEP generators. Many of the remaining cars were instead assigned #170xx-series MofW numbers, and were used both as storage sheds and tool cars, still in NYC paint, as is the car seen here. 7/8/2014 10:25:18 PM 7/8/2014 10:41:45 PM
