Built by CAF USA (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarrilesas) in Elmira Heights, NY in June 2014 and numbered 68000 with this series of cars being named after state capitals east of the Mississippi. These cars were built to replace Heritage Dining Cars which were used on eastern long-distance trains that operated out of New York and were all delivered in Amtrak's classic Phase III paint scheme while sporting the current Amtrak "Travelmark" Logo.
