Description:  GN 1193, 'Rocky Coulee', on Train #32, the eastbound Empire Builder, at Aurora, Illinois on July 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 1193 was built in January-February 1947 by Pullman-Standard, Plan 4109, Lot 6751, and named 'Kootenai River'. As built, the interior configuration was two double bedrooms, one drawing room, and a buffet-lounge-observation section.

Rebuilt again in 1968 to a 68 seat chair car, it became GN 1303, went to Amtrak becoming AMTK 6804, retired in August 1977, final disposition unknown.
