Click on the thumbnail for a bigger picture.  48 seat Coach - 5340

Pullman Standard was the receiver of an order from UP for several 48-seat coach cars in 1941. The cars were delivered in 1942 and numbered upwards from 5331. The COLA car #5340 was from the Plan 7468 lot and the #5353 car from the plan 7471 lot, each of which consisted of 15 cars. The cars of both plans are identical on the exterior and the only interior difference is a conductor's desk in the first lot and a clothes locker in its place in the second lot. The locker was later converted to the conductor's desk in all cars. All cars were delivered in Challenger colors but did eventually get the Armor Yellow paint for Streamliner service.

COLA 16

The cars in the COLA 16th train were numbers 5340 and 5353.
