Built in 1939 by Budd in Lot #96501 as SAL 60 seat coach #6200, 1 of 3 such cars (#6200-#6202) built in that Lot, which was ordered in October 1938; cars were delivered in January 1939. SCL reduced the seating to 56 as #5604-#5606, and the cars were acquired by Amtrak with the same numbers. #5604 was retired in October 1981 and sold to the short-lived Seattle & North Coast RR, which operated the isolated ex-MILW line between Port Townsend and Port Angeles on the north end of the Olympic Peninsula after the Milwaukee Road closed the Pacific Extension in 1980. The #5604 was sold at auction in 1985 to the Pacific Northwest Chapter NRHS. EXIF: 4:57 PM, f/3.6 @ 1/50, ISO-125 |
