The instruction car 20(1st) had been built from one of the parlor cars bought by MP from Pullman. I believe in 1970 it was retired, and I have a photo of it out back at Sedalia, or a car that I believe to be this one. Its equipment was transferred to a new 20(2nd) which was modified from one of the three Budd flattop coaches that had been bought for the Colorado Eagle. These cars were referenced recently om the Passenger Car List on a discussion about the California Zephyr early planning. Of these three cars, 465-467, I can say that the 466 was in regular operation on the Kansas City trains, and I have at least a couple of pictures of it. I believe the 467 was occasionally operated, or was at least a reserve car, in 1970-71, and it was the 465 that was converted to the 2nd 20. That may be the difference.
