Wabash Dome Coach #9410

Built by Budd in 1955 for the Great Northern Railway as a Dome Coach and numbered 1331. Briefly owned by the Burlington Northern Railroad after it formed in 1970 and was set to be renumbered 4611 but that number was never applied. Conveyed to Amtrak in 1971 and numbered 9471. This was the last Amtrak-owned Vista-Dome car to be painted into Amtrak colors which occurred in June 1976. Converted to Head-End Power from Steam Heat in 1984 and renumbered 9410. Stored by Amtrak in 1995, the car was sold in 1998 to Montana Rockies Rail Tours who eventually sold the car to Rail Quest America/Montana Rockies Rail Tours in 2001. MRRT suspended operations and sold the car to Phil Sheridan in 2004. The car would be leased for a time to the Alaska Railroad and in 2008 then leased by the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and named "Emerson", keeping the Amtrak number. The car is owned today by Mid-America Railcar Leasing and is lettered for the Wabash and named "Jackson Square". The Wabash name on the car was for its use this year on excursions with Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4 #611 and Nickel Plate Road Class S-2 2-8-4 #765.
