Title:  #800255 BERLIN
Description:  Built in 1956 by P-S in Lot #6958 to Plan #4198 as UP 11DB sleeper PLACID LAKE, 1 of 10 such cars built in that Lot, which was ordered in September 1954; cars were delivered between February and March 1956. In 1969, these cars were assigned #15xx-series numbers, the PLACID LAKE was assigned #1504, which was applied in July 1969. In 1971, Amtrak acquired all 10 of these cars as #2260-#2269, the #1504 as #2263. The #2263 was retired in October 1980 and sold in 1981 to the Indiana RY Museum in French Lick. The car was later sold to American European Express and renamed BERLIN. AOE reconfigured the car to 2 state rooms and 7 bedrooms, and after the end of AOE operations, it was sold to Kevin Moore.
