Rail Adventures Inc. acquired the car in 1995 and made mechanical upgrades in 1996. The galley, lougne and a master bedroom were completed during 1998. 2 deluxe bedrooms and an attendant's room were added in 2000. The car has a master bedroom with a queen-sized bed, 2 deluxe bedrooms with full-size double beds, two showers, an attendant's room, and kitchen for full meal service. The car features dome seating for 24 passengers as well (6 4-passenger booths) and 8 booth seats and 10 leather seats in the cherry-paneled long lounge. The car was purchased by Paxrail in 2015 and renamed "Stampede Pass". Historical information about this car provided by AAPRCO, Amtrak By The Numbers, and Paxrail.
