Car 11 was originally the Crystal River, Budd built smooth-side 10-6 sleeper. One of the car’s first Pullman line assignments was St. Louis-Denver on the Colorado Eagle, and perhaps its last was in St. Louis-Mexico City service on the Texas Eagle, with a variety of other assignments in between. The car remained in Pullman lease until the end of Pullman Company operations, being withdrawn from lease on January 2, 1969. It and several sister cars were stored at Sedalia for possible company use, although this car was the only one actually modified. By 1975, it had been converted to business car 11. Can anyone provide a more accurate date of conversion to #11?
