Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Combine 801 at Indianapolis, Indiana on February 4, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This car was one of two combination club lounge baggage cars ordered in August 1945 (Budd Job 9603-015), delivered in December 1947 for the third version of the Twin Cities Zephyr. As built, it had a 19 foot baggage section, a 14 foot buffet/bar section, and a 37 foot club lounge section with four tables. It also had full length skirting, removed by the time of this photo. It became BN 801, conveyed to Amtrak, becoming Amtrak 1721 and later Amtrak 1601 in 1975 when Amtrak removed the buffet and lounge configuration and installed 40 coach seats, expanding the baggage section to 33 feet |
