Title:
UP PACIFIC BEND
Description:
Built in January 1950 by the Budd Company in Lot #9660-039 to Pullman Plan #9522, as UP 10 roomette-6 double bedroom (10RM-6DB) sleeper PACIFIC BEND, 1 of 50 such PACIFIC-series sleepers built in that Lot, which was ordered in February 1948; cars were delivered between December 1949 and June 1950. Besides PACIFIC EMPIRE, which was wrecked in 1951, the other 49 cars were assigned #14xx-series numbers in 1969, the PACIFIC BEND was assigned #1404, which was applied in August 1969. 5 cars were sold to the Milwaukee Road in 1969, 1 car was retained by UP, and the other 43 cars were sold to Amtrak in 1971 as #2600-#2642, PACIFIC BEND as #2603. Besides 3 which were wrecked during Amtrak's first decade, the remaining 40 cars were converted to head end power (HEP) in 3 batches, the 1st group of 13 cars were converted in 1977-1978, including PACIFIC BEND, which was converted to HEP #2903 in June 1978. Between 1997 and 2000, Amtrak converted 14 of these 40 cars to crew dormitory-lounges, PACIFIC BEND was converted to dormitory #2504 in January 1998. #2504 was retired in early 2007, and in 2008 was reactivated for Company Service as #10020.

Seen here at the station in Dallas, and note the PRR lightweight Budd-built sleeper to the right, which is most likely an INN-series 21 roomette (21RM) sleeper (Lot #9667-024, Pullman Plan #9513, 1949, #8241-series, all rebuilt to #15xx-series 70-or-76-seat commuter coaches in 1963). Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate 35mm slide, brand is unknown. Date is unknown.
