AMTK dome car 9400 <I><B>SILVER CASTLE</B></I>
Title:  AMTK dome car 9400 SILVER CASTLE
Description:  Amtrak dome coach 9400 SILVER CASTLE was parked in the station at Minneapolis with some Burlington Northern office cars. The car had been built by Budd in June 1940 as Burlington flat-top coach 4709 and was rebuilt into a dome car by the CB&Q in 1949. It was briefly renumbered BN 3480 in 1970, before going to Amtrak in 1971. It was retired in 1977 and, as of 2020, it was at the Minnesota Transportation Museum's JACKSON STREET ROUNDHOUSE in St. Paul. Amtrak later had another Budd dome car numbered 9400. This one was a smooth-side ex-Northern Pacific HERITAGE FLEET car.
