Still Running or Scrapped?
Author: edsaalig

 Union Pacific Pacific Gardens 1417 is being moved to Mira Loma California in March of 1974.  I believe Amtrak did not scrapped the car but is she still around?

According to http://on-track-on-line.com/amtkrinf-slpdorm.shtml, and https://utahrails.net/pass/named-lightweight-sleepers.php#sleeper-pacific-bay, it was converted to HEP in 1978, then to a Heritage Crew Dorm in 1998, and was out of service and stored "dead" as of 2006.

So it does still exist, but it has been highly modified from its' original configuration.
