60-seat coach 338 was originally classified as an International-Great Northern car before the consolidation of Texas subsidiary lines. The diagram for cars 337-339 has an original date of July 30, 1949, the approximate year of rebuilding. In the MP 1963 renumbering of passenger cars, coach 338 became coach 1161. The car last appeared in the March 1965 issue of the Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment, thus giving an approximate time of its retirement.
