| b. | Lightweight steel construction; UP generally favored aluminum as the material of choice for their passenger cars. This 1957 order to AC&F included two car types - baggage cars as well as postal storage cars - that were very similar in appearance from the outside. The reason for steel vs. aluminum construction for these late-model cars is not known, but subsequent orders of additional head-end cars to ACF and St. Louis Car Co. reverted to aluminum construction (except for nine baggage RPO cars built in 1963 by Budd).

These cars were delivered in 1955 as an end-of-train "Dome Observation" car. In May or June 1956, all 15 were pulled from service and modified to be mid-train "Dome Lounge" cars. They returned to service in November 1956. At that time, all lights on the tail end had been removed. |

For UP 9003:
Between February and April of 1955, the American Car & Foundry's St. Charles, Missouri plant near St. Louis completed a total of 15 (9000-9014) blunt-end observation-dome-lounge cars for the Union Pacific in Lot 4096. (Described in builder record as five bedroom-observation cars) The first five, 9000-9004, were delivered for service on the City of Los Angeles, operated over the rails of the Union Pacific and the Milwaukee Road between Los Angeles and Chicago.
After being purchased by Auto-Train in June 1972, they remodeled the former UP 9003 into what they called a "Maxi-Dome", which included 24 revenue seats on the main level, 20 revenue seats in the dome, and a bar and small lounge under the dome. Auto-Train ended its service on April 30, 1981, and AUT 903 passed into private ownership following the December 8, 1981, auction of Auto-Train equipment at Sanford, Florida. Late in 1988, Northern Rail Car Corporation purchased the car from Classic Rail Travel.
Northern Rail Car filed for bankruptcy in September 2001, after Virginia Railway Express canceled its contract, and was essentially out of business by March 2003, amid accusations and law suits between William Gardner, owner of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, and owner of Northern Rail Car Corporation, and his son Daniel Gardner's claim that his father was to turn ownership of Northern Rail Car to him.
