Former 10/6 sleeper for the Union Pacific. Conveyed to Amtrak in 1971, the car operated as a sleeping car and later a crew sleeper before being stored in 2006. The car was reactivated for use by the Amtrak Police in 2007 and renamed "Pacific Command". The car was renamed back to "Pacific Bend" when selected for the Exhibit Train.
