Former California Zephyr Coach Silver Pine on Sunday, April 14, 2024. It is on the Austin Steam Train Association's Bluebonnet Special.
Silver Pine (former DRGW 1121) is a Budd 48 seat coach. Reportedly: it was built in 1948 as a California Zephyr 16 Section Sleeper. In 1963-64 the cars of this class were rebuilt into coaches. The Silver Pine remained in service on the Rio Grande Zephyr until it too was discontinued in 1984. The Silver Pine was sold to a private owner and kept in storage until ASTA purchased the car in 2010. It was returned to service in 2011 as a first class coach car.
