Private Car SILVER FOOT
Title:  Private Car SILVER FOOT
Description:  On Christmas Eve 1976 Chicago Medical Equipment car CME 300 SILVER FOOT was being hand-washed at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. It had been built by Pullman-Standard in April 1956 as Union Pacific 5-double-bedroom / buffet / lounge car OGDEN and in 1967 the UP redesignated it as staff car 126. It was sold to Great Western Enterprises in 1971, where it became the 126 REDWOOD, and was later sold to CME. The car got its name because CME was owned by a group of podiatrists! Subsequent to this photo it was assigned Amtrak number 800279 and was rebuilt into an open-platform car.

WRHX 800148 Warren R. Henry
Title:  WRHX 800148 Warren R. Henry
Description:  I could not find the exact number, but this coach started life as a Union Pacific coach in 1955. It was restored by businessman Patrick Henry, who named this and the Evelyn Henry after his parents. Henry's love for trains is documented in this article (https://www.chron.com/life/article/Businessman-refurbishes-train-cars-rents-them-out-1948632.php), and I think many of us railroad buffs echo his sentiments. Kudos to him for doing something to preserve these beautiful coaches!

PPCX 800279 Silver Foot
Title:  PPCX 800279 Silver Foot
Description:  So this one's got a funny history. You might expect, with a name beginning "Silver," that this was a Burlington coach at one point. Actually, it was built as the Union Pacific Ogden in 1956. Union Pacific began using it as a staff car in 1967, but eventually, it was sold to Chicago Medical Equipment. Under this ownership, it got its current name because Chicago Medical Equipment was owned by podiatrists, or foot doctors! Also, here it is in 1971, with a green paint scheme and a different shape (the open-air platform was added later): http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=5102054
