The Pacific Parlour Cars have a rich railroad history going back to the mid-1950s when they were originally built by the Budd Company for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Amtrak refurbished the Pacific Parlour Cars in the mid-1990s to provide a casual, yet elegant, space for Sleeping car passengers to relax. From the Ann Owens Collection.
