Conversion to MoW Bunk Cars

The above noted former Pullman cars, owned by UP after 1948, were converted to System Gang Bunk Cars in 1963. Nineteen of the cars were converted per UP drawing 236-CD-374, dated September 4, 1963. That drawing shows an 8-step process, as follows:

1 – Drain water system.

2 – Remove generator and air conditioning drive belts, leaving air conditioning equipment intact.

3 – Block out all electrical equipment, but leave it trainlined.

4 – Free up the windows, making them open easily.

5 – Pull down all berths, and bolt them in the down position.

6 – Lock all toilet rooms, and padlock the doors.

7 – Remove all toilets, and cover the resulting holes in floors.

8 – Disconnect water supply, and install coat hooks.
