For 9003: Between February and April of 1955, the American Car & Foundry's St. Charles, Mo., 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, Fla. 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 Corp., and his son Daniel Gardner's claim that his father was to turn ownership of Northern Rail Car to him.
