AMTK 2652
Title:  AMTK 2652
Description:  Amtrak 2652, named SILVER BUTTE, in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 2652 was built by Budd on Job 9660-019, Pullman Plan 9509, as a 10-Roomette, 6-Bedroom (10-6) sleeper for the CB&Q's contribution to the California Zephyr, CB&Q number 425. It was one of 19 such sleepers ordered in October 1945, delivered between September and November 1948. The 19 cars were divided among the participating railrods with six cars going to the CB&Q. It became AMTK 2652, at some point lost the skirts (as seen on the car to the left), and was retired by Amtrak in October 1983.
