This 83’ Pullman heavyweight 3-2 observation car is painted light Harbor Mist Gray with UP Armour Yellow sides, red ‘Union Pacific’ herald and red lettering. It was built by Pullman Standard in the mid-1920s and runs on six-wheel passenger trucks. The Plan 3959D observation car was the common “end-of-train” car style for many passenger trains throughout the early part of the 20th century. The introduction of the steel cars brought the end of the luxurious, artisan-crafted, and custom designed wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. Pullman’s Heavyweight construction was modular, making it possible for floor plans to economically evolve with the times.
