PPCX 800279 Silver Foot  Contributor's Pick!       
So this one's got a funny history. You might expect, with a name beginning "Silver," that this was a Burlington coach at one point. Actually, it was built as the Union Pacific Ogden in 1956. Union Pacific began using it as a staff car in 1967, but eventually, it was sold to Chicago Medical Equipment. Under this ownership, it got its current name because Chicago Medical Equipment was owned by podiatrists, or foot doctors! Also, here it is in 1971, with a green paint scheme and a different shape (the open-air platform was added later): http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=5102054
