In 1975, it was renamed William Barstow Strong in honor of the former president of the Atchison, Topeka \u0026amp; Santa Fe Railway—who also inspired the naming of the city of Barstow, California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn August 1990, the car underwent another transformation, this time into a Theatre Lounge Car, and soon became a familiar sight on the rear of Santa Fe Executive Trains. It also had the distinction of bringing up the rear of Santa Fe 3751’s celebrated cross-country excursion between Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois, during the summer of 1992.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the 1995 merger with Burlington Northern, the car received several exterior and interior updates and was renumbered from #89 to #32.
