What remains of the six Santa Fe baggage dorm/high level adapter cars #3477-3482 that were modified for use on the new High level El Capitan and the seven P-S diners #600- 606 built in 1950 for the Super Chief? I know that BNSF has #600 that has been heavily rebuilt at least on the inside. Any other survivors? Interestingly considering how many cars Amtrak bought from Santa Fe I believe the only ATSF cars that Amtrak rebuilt to HEP were the Pine series Budd sleepers and the baggage cars. |

As far as HEP, a lot more than just the Pine-series 10-6 sleepers and baggage cars. Almost all of the El Capitan Hi-Levels, almost all of the later Budd-built chairs, and several of the later Budd-built lunch counters (see a pattern here?) got switched to HEP as well. As for your disposition questions, there is an entire thread on here of AT&SF lightweight car dispositions, all you want to know can be found there: http://www.rypn.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36584 |

According to the Railway Preservation Index, 3480 and 3482 survive, but not as the lightweight hi level adapters. 3480 is in Pine Bluff as a part of the Arkansas Railway Museum, most known for Cotton Belt 819. 3482 is in Hagerstown at the Hagerstown Roundhouse museum, near the site of the now demolished Hagerstown Roundhouse. https://sites.google.com/site/railwaypr ... a-santa-fe |
