John, this is an excellent photo of all three types of slumbercoaches produced by Budd. In the foreground, we see the Silver Rest, built for the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr in 1956 as #4902. After the car was rebuilt by Amtrak's Beech Grove shops with head end power in 1982, it received the number 2094 and saw service until the middle 1990s. In the background, there are the two other types of slumbercoaches Budd built, from the B&O and NYC.
