Built in 1948 by Budd in Lot #9662-031 to Plan #9520 as PRR 10RM-6DB sleeper #8449 for the CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR; the car was ordered in December 1946 and delivered in November 1948. This was Pennsy's contributing car to the CZ pool, for through sleeper service Chicago-New York on the BROADWAY LIMITED; the PRR and NYC provided this through service with 10-6 sleepers on alternating days of the week; NYC covered this pool with Budd-built VALLEY-series 10-6 cars.

The SILVER RAPIDS is now owned by California Zephyr Railcar Charters; parked at King Street Station with SILVER LARIAT and PALM LEAF. EXIF: 3:51 PM, f/4.6 @ 1/160, ISO-100 |
