Built in 1955 by AC&F in Lot #04-4269 as AT&SF baggage-express-messenger #3680, 1 of 25 such cars (#3660-#3684) built in that Lot, which was ordered in November 1953; cars were delivered between January and April 1955. In 1971, 21 of these cars were sold to Amtrak as #1150 (1st)-#1170 (1st), the #3680 as #1167 (1st). In 1977-1978, 20 of these 21 cars were converted to HEP #1250-#1258, #1260-#1261, #1263-#1270, and #1272; the #1167 (1st) was converted to HEP #1256 in January 1978. The #1256 was wrecked in November 1999 at Cumberland, MD, and was sold in January 2003 to Mid America Railcar Leasing as MRLX #800863 TAOS. In 2014, it was sold to Great Lakes Rail Car as GTLX #800863 TAOS. The #1167 currently in the website's directory is for the #1167 (2nd), which was built as CB&Q #907 OLYMPUS.
