Private Car on Amtrak #5(22)

[Agent]

The westbound California Zephyr that left Chicago today has a blue private car on the end of it. I didn't catch a name or number though as Amtrak #5 came through Agency, Iowa.

That would be the Yerba Buena. I personally worked on that car this last year here in Salinas when it was getting a fresh coat of paint and some other mechanical work. You won't find the name on it this time because the owner chose not to have the name painted back on her. The car was originally built as a standard sleeper for the Lark, but was extremely remodelled on the interior, as well as opening up the back platform. Beautiful car on the inside.
