AK 10 & 6(?) deadhead on 850 tonight
Author: stuporchief

I saw Amtrak 850 (Hoosier State) passing near Dolton this evening with a deadhead Amtrak sleeping car (heritage 10 & 6 as best I could tell) behind the locomotive. I was not able to get a car number or name. The car was a fluted stainless steel sleeper. The body actually looked very good, except it had been tagged with some graffiti. Does anyone know what this car is, and why it was being moved to Beech Grove (I presume)?

More than likely the 10405. Its an ex-dorm lounge and former 10&6 that is used between Superliner and single level equipment when shuttling shop moves to and from Beech Grove.
