They could even be seen pulled by Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electrics in the Northeast Corridor.  In 1971, after the formation of Amtrak®, Southern Pacific put most of their Economy Baggage Car fleet into MOW or yard storage service. In 1972, Amtrak® would lease a number of these for use on long distance trains with full SP lettering and paint. Ultimately, they purchased a few for service into the 1980s and painted into Phase II. Cars 295 and 298 would see service on Southern Pacific’s business train starting in 1984. First painted in the silver Sunset scheme, later they would both receive Daylight paint.

This all-steel caboose was based on a proposed design by the USRA, which actually specified wood sheathing. The Reading built 285 cars, spread through several classes. The earliest cars had solid underframes while later cars were equipped with Duryea cushion underframes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis design was so successful that other roads took note such as; the Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh \u0026amp; New England, Lehigh Valley, Pittsburg \u0026amp; West Virginia and the Western Maryland. Production was spread out between the Reading and the purchasing roads, which meant variations were bound to be made to the original design. Different groups of cars were equipped with different trucks, running boards, steps, grabs and end wall windows (or lack thereof).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of these cabooses were used well into Conrail and Chessie eras, being used in regular service until the end of mandatory caboose operations.
