AMTK 4656 would have been a leg-rest coach, which this is not. I believe what th actual number is is 5656, which is correct for a former NYC coach like this one. Any # ideas on the other cars???

Built in 1947 by Budd in Lot #9613-004 as NYC 56 seat chair #2909 (1 of 60 such cars, #2900-#2959), later PC #2909, to Amtrak in 1974 as #5646. Retired and sold to Denver Railcar as DRCX #5646. Denver Railcar planned to name this car the SILVER FIR, this planned name was later shortened to FIR, but was not applied. Also was intended as #800547. Morristown & Erie later acquired at least 3 of these NYC 56 seat chairs from Denver Railcar, and the #5646 was renumbered to ME #1007.
