Built by Pullman-Standard in 1956 as a 5 Double Bedroom-Buffet-Redwood Lounge Car named "North Platte" for the Union Pacific Railroad. UP rebuilt the car into an 11 Bedroom Sleeper in 1965 and renamed it "Star Scene" and numbered it 1705. Conveyed to Amtrak in 1971 and numbered 2254. Converted to Head-End Power from Steam heat in April 1984 and renumbered 2234. Amtrak retired the car in 1997 and subsequently sold the car to current owners in 1999 when it was renamed "Northern Dreams". In 2003, the car was upgraded and refurbished as a 6 Bedroom Lounge.
