General Notes:

a. UPP 209 named "Howard Fogg" in memory of the renowned artist Howard Fogg who painted hundreds of paintings of Union Pacific subjects. Mr. Fogg said on several occasions that he never tired of completing paintings of Union Pacific's famous Big Boy steam locomotives.
b. Since being assigned to the steam program, UPP 209's configuration has been extensively modified, both mechanically and its interior space. In 1993, the 5,000 gallon water tank used for the steam generator was removed, and a John Deere diesel-powered generator set (removed from Inspection Car "Idaho") was installed in its place. Fuel and water capacity was installed to allow the car to power itself and six or seven others. The steam generator is used on a regular basis to furnish steam to speed up a re-firing of the steam locomotives. In 1997, an additional Caterpillar diesel generator set was installed, and during 2004-2005, additional water and fuel capacity was installed. The car has two washer and dryer sets for crew members, and the additional water and fuel capacity will improve their usability. In 1993, two of the original five dormitory rooms were combined to serve as storage space for the adjacent concession car. This space has just recently been converted to a crew break area, and includes table and chairs, sink, coffee maker, microwave oven, lockers, and a refrigerator. The lost storage space will be made up by moving the concession items to another car. The other three dormitory rooms were stripped of their original six bunks, and one was converted to an office, which also contains a bed. The other two were changed to contain only a single bed in each room. The original steward's room, adjacent to the original baggage section, has been converted for use as a crew luggage area. During 2005, the odd truck configuration of a single six axle truck and a single four axle truck, will be changed to give the car two matching six axle trucks.
c. Built as Baggage Dormitory 6001, 6004, 6006; remodeled to Boiler Dormitory 302, 303, 304 in 1962

The need for power cars: Steam locomotives had supplied passenger cars with the steam needed for heat and hot water, but after diesel locomotives were phased in, steam generators were required. They were placed in baggage cars at the front of trains. Locomotive auxiliary generators provided 32-volts of electrical power for the passenger cars that could be "stored" for short periods of time in batteries underneath each car. As Union Pacific's passenger equipment was modernized and the need for electric power grew, steam generator cars were rebuilt into diesel-electric generator cars that provide electricity to the entire train. Each passenger car is connected to the power car using a series of "jumper cables" between each car. Some of Union Pacific's passenger cars are equipped with their own electric generators, allowing them to operate without a power car. Power cars also have living quarters for an electrician who monitors the system, and additional refrigerators and freezers for commissary services. (from uprr.com)
