85' ACF 48-Seat Diner - #5015 - Union Pacific(R) Heritage Fleet

Built in 1959 as a Lunch Counter-Cafe-Lounge, car #5105 was retained for special service through 1987. At that time it was remodeled as Diner-Lounge UPP #302, and named "Overland" in 1988 to commemorate the "Overland Flyer" passenger train of the 1890s.

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.
