Title:  Buffer Car #10405
Description:  The car to the left of the baggage car is the #10405, which was built in 1950 by Budd in Lot #9660-039 to Plan #9522 as UP 10RM-6DB sleeper PACIFIC TERRACE, 1 of 50 PACIFIC-series cars built in that Lot, which was ordered in February 1948; cars were delivered between December 1949 and June 1950. Besides PACIFIC EMPIRE, which was wrecked in 1951, the other 49 cars were assigned #14xx-series numbers in 1969, the PACIFIC TERRACE was assigned #1444, which was applied in March 1970. 5 cars were sold to the Milwaukee Road in 1969, 1 car was retained by UP, and the other 43 cars were sold to Amtrak in 1971 as #2600-#2642, PACIFIC TERRACE as #2637. Besides 3 which were wrecked during Amtrak's first decade, the remaining 40 cars were converted to HEP in 3 batches, the 2nd group of 15 cars were converted in 1979-1980, including PACIFIC TERRACE, which was converted to HEP #2889 in January 1980. Between 1997 and 2000, Amtrak converted 14 of these 40 cars to crew dormitory-lounges, PACIFIC TERRACE was converted to dormitory #2509 in February 1998. #2509 was retired in early 2007, and in December 2008 was reactivated as buffer car #10405.
