Built in 1980 as a 62 seat Coach with a baggage room occupying part of the lower level of the car. Converted into a Smoker Coach with an enclosed, ventilated smoking room built inside the baggage room in January 1997 and renumbered 31502. Converted back into a standard Coach Baggage Car in June 2005 and renumbered back to 31002 after Amtrak eliminated smoking onboard most trains.
