These 6 Budd Fluted Side Baggage/Dormitory/Lounge cars were delivered to Santa Fe in late '37 for use on "The Chief." The names and numbers were: 1380, San Miguel 1381, San Marcial 1382, San Fernando 1383, San Simon 1384, San Ignacio and 1385, San Pascal. Two cars were wrecked. The rested were converted to Baggage/Dormitory cars and all were eventually sold to Amtrak. Note: These cars had a 79' 10" coupled length and the sides are prototypical length, which requires shortening whatever core/base you use.
