85' ACF 48-Seat Diner - City of Los Angeles - Union Pacific(R) Heritage Fleet

Two 48-seat dining cars have been named for UP's flagship Streamliner, "The City of Los Angeles." Both were delivered new in 1949 from American Car & Foundry. The current car, #4808, was acquired from Northern Rail Car in 1991.

A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs, 48 historic passenger cars, three restored steam locomotives and an A-B-A set of E9 diesels make up the famed Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased for the City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored and updated to full operating condition. Today, the cars and E9s are finished in a modern Armour Yellow scheme, and the cars carry names of important cities, famous trains and key people in the railroad's long history. In service, these rolling goodwill ambassadors travel system-wide and beyond, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.
